Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You built a throne from calendar scraps
Every square filled
Every spare minute mapped
You said
“Busy looks a lot like brave”
But your hands still shake
When you’re standing at the sink
Staring down the day like it’s something you can drink
[Chorus]
This is your house of cards
Leaning on late nights
Leaning on deadlines
Stacked so high
Every breath feels sharp
One small sigh and it all comes down
House of cards
You call it structure
I call it scars
Hold your breath
While it all blows apart
[Verse 2]
You wear old band tees like armor and skin
Say you’re fine
Say it twice
Then you say it again
Got a fridge full of lists and receipts
Every shelf speaks
But it doesn’t say your name
Just the things you chase so you don’t feel the flame
[Chorus]
This is your house of cards
Leaning on late nights
Leaning on deadlines
Stacked so high
Every breath feels sharp
One small sigh and it all comes down
House of cards
You call it structure
I call it scars
Hold your breath
While it all blows apart
[Bridge]
What if you let one card fall?
Would the ceiling really cave?
What if you dropped the script you’ve memorized
And walked right off the stage? (hey!)
You could stand in the quiet
Shaking
Feel your heart misbehaving
And let it
[Chorus]
Break this house of cards
Kick down the timelines
Burn all the guidelines
Laugh out loud as the plans go dark
Let it crash
Let it clear this ground
House of cards
We’ll build something that bears your heart
Not so tall
But it won’t fall apart
