Sometimes I walk mysterious places

Hear voices that talk without a word to say

Sometimes I hear the echoes of laughter

In the twilight of affairs and other tragedies.

A half-moon away, way too close to heaven

She had the look, but no morality

Sometimes it's easy to forget only for a moment

But there are nights you regret eternally.

Whatever frozen hearts can do

Will melt the ice away.

How you know what it's like

When good luck has changed the sides

And no sun shines in the dark and no angels

Ever hear your prayers in the night

When your fears come up your spine

When your life turns upside down it breaks your heart

When you get crushed in a house of cards

House of cards.

It's so hard to find a way when life is in pieces

And the taste of a kiss is so bittersweet

Sometimes it's easy to forget only for a moment

But the man who'll rise up from the ashes is no one else but me.

I'm standing in a waterfall

To wash the lies away.

How you know what it's like

When good luck has changed the sides

And no sun shines in the dark and no angels

Ever hear your prayers in the night

When your fears come up your spine

When your life turns upside down it breaks your heart

House of cards.

Whatever frozen hearts can do

Will melt the ice away.

How you know what it's like

When good luck has changed the sides

And no sun shines in the dark and no angels

Ever hear your prayers in the night

When your fears come up your spine

When your life turns upside down and there is no one

You get crushed in a house of cards

House of cards.
