Playing The Hero — House of Cards (Official Music Video)

Description:

Some truths are easier to hide behind a mask.
This is only the first crack in the facade.

HOUSE OF CARDS LYRICS:
Collapse the memory of things that once were
Between raising/razing hands and homes, which would you pick first?
If it were up to you… what would you do?

Your Life’s depleted
You Rinse / repeat it
You’re Broken hearted
But don’t Fall apart yet

I know you wanna give it up
It’s hard to change
But don’t be afraid to push against the waves

I don’t wanna live a lie
One that was created for me
(Created for me)
I don’t wanna be part of the hive
To fuel the industry
(Nooo)
Eradicate the foundation
(Abolish the oppressive nature)
Eviscerate the whole system
(Watch the house of cards come crashing down)

come crashing DOWN
can’t believe that I agreed to this
Swallowed up by filth, regurgitated
What a fucking mess?
I refuse to
Give up my resolve
I’m not your vessel

(Convey your heartache to the masses)
Ohhh ohhh ohhh
(Redefine what it means to find yourself)
Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhhh

Convalescence
Try to rebuild your strength
The road ahead may be treacherous
you’d best grit your teeth

It’s a long way down from here
Bring it down from the stratosphere
avarice becomes crystal clear,
it’s time to rip apart the foundation

Woah oh oh (x’s 6)
(Bring it down, bring it down)

(It’s Time to rip apart the foundation)

I don’t wanna live a lie
One that was created for me
(Created for me)
I don’t wanna be part of the hive
To fuel the industry
(Nooo)

Eradicate the foundation
(Abolish the oppressive nature)
Eviscerate the whole system
(Watch the house of cards come crashing down)
