Alannah Thornburgh - House Of Cards Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This house of cards began a lean-to
That's what friends are for
In order to remain standing we all need support
Love triangles depend upon each other
But all our angles and perspectives differ

[Chorus]
God forbid you slam a door in anger
Or embrace the earthquake of belly laughter
Or let escape your rebellious teenager sighs
Of pleasure
The house will fall asunder

[Verse 2]
King and Queen, Jack and Joker
We all must silently take our sides
Except the virtuous ace card
She just can't decide
Until the blow of her overheard whisper brings the fall
"I didn't mean it!
I felt a draft at the door and I couldn't ignore it!"

[Chorus]
Give into your rounded shoulders
Or trust enough to unveil
The wrinkling twitches and flushing tears
That roll across your face like waves
The patterns of the universe
The inevitable cyclical ending
[Bridge]
Keep the peace between the walls that divide us
Keep the peace between the walls that divide us
Keep the peace between the walls that divide us
Keep the peace between the walls that divide us
Within a structure so delicate it cannot bind us
Within a structure so vulnerable it can't protect us
Keep the peace between the walls that divide us
Keep the peace between the walls that divide us

[Outro: Vocalizing]
