House of Cards
this house of cards
I can't build faster
each one placed spells
sweet disaster
keep on building, higher it goes
standing up on my tiptoes
the wind blows hard
it stays in place
feeling your breeze
blowing on my face
house of cards is holding strong
one on one, on and on
the final card is put in place
queen of hearts, saving grace
it all trembles and starts to fall
fantasies that hit the wall
a house of cards is always weak
be careful of the ones you seek
