House of Cards

[Verse]
Thought I was a heart
But I was a spade
Looking out for myself all along
Oh I knew the part
And I learned the trade
From many who are now long gone

The speck of dirt in my own eye
Clouded my ability to see
in terms of what was right
And now when I cry
Cause it means so much to me
I pray oh lord let me see the light

[Chorus]
King of spades
Draws his blade
And slices through my heart
Now the truth is swayed
I’m open to my fate
Learning to release ego is an art

[Verse]
I thought I was a diamond 
But I was a clover
Earthly and dull to a fault
It is such a crime and
I want it to be over
Cause I’m feeling 2 foot tall

[Chorus]
Queen of Diamonds
Shines her light and
Reveals my dullness in her mirror
Nowhere to hide
The truth inside
My own ugliness I fear

[Verse]
As fate would have it
I drew another card
This time hoping for the best
With my candle still lit
I stared at it real hard
To my dismay it was the jester

[Chorus]
The Jester laughs
At my enormous gaff
Thinking I would draw a winner
But instead the jokes on me
If only I could see
I’m nothing but a beginner

[Verse]
Thought I was a heart
But I was a spade
Looking out for myself all along
Oh I knew the part
And I learned the trade
From many who are now long gone
