House of Cards

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

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

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

Queen of Diamonds

Shines her light and

Reveals my dullness in her mirror

Nowhere to hide

The truth inside

My own ugliness I fear

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

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

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
