Prompt / 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

Bridge drops to toms and bass then slams back into a final, high-energy hook. Slight tape saturation on the master for a gritty, modern edge., male vocals, indie rock, new wave
