House Of Cards

Through my telescope, I can analyze

What I don't understand, I judge and criticize

From my hiding place in the loneliness

I fear I'll lose control of my tainted soul

Living in a time that is so hard to understand

Watching everybody stake and claim

the Promised Land

Say they know the way or what you can

depend upon

I realize we've gone too far, too far, too far, too far

If I were born another man and personality

Maybe in distant and far off galaxy

Somewhere in the universe there is a place for me

I'm telling you, I'm telling you

We're living in a house of cards

It's not ignorance, I have really tried

To see every side and put away my pride

From my solitude in the dark and cold

Now my Shangri-La seems unreachable

Living in a time that is so hard to understand

Watching everybody stake and claim

the Promised Land

Say they know the way or what you can

depend upon

I realize we've gone too far, too far, too far, too far

If I were born another man and personality

Maybe in distant and far off galaxy

Somewhere in the universe there is a place for me

I'm telling you, I'm telling you

We're living in a house of cards

I cannot deny or be a stranger to myself

I'm looking in the mirror and blaming no one else

This house of cards is falling as I turn and walk away

I realize we've gone too far

What I thought was nothing might be

something after all

All the hidden meanings beyond what I control

I'm telling you, I'm telling you

We're living in a house of cards
