House of Cards
I used to think
That it couldn't stand
not my house of cards.
But lady luck has changed my hand
This game might be different, in my regards.
I used to think that
it was fragile,
The smallest of things
Even then, none could reconcile.
That it could be so easily broken,
and warped past recognizing.
All of the suites would fall away,
When we were too busy sympathizing.
But the cards weren't bent
and the money I lent
helps to pay the Joker's rent
So let's go all in now.
The house hasn't...
That it couldn't stand
not my house of cards.
But lady luck has changed my hand
This game might be different, in my regards.

That it could be so easily broken,
and warped past recognizing.

But the cards weren't bent

So let's go all in now.

Land of The Moon Shadows
I'm in my bedroom
Unwilling to sleep
An something wakes inside
ancient primordial
Shout, a plea.
I glance at my window
The pull is stronger there.
I need an escape
From life's future wears.
I slip on some shoes
The colors melt.
I step outside,
The cards yet to be delt.
Each diamond,
Too prettily crafted
For human eye.
But I get to see,
Them all
In the sky
Shining
Like the colors of you.
Colors of everyone
Of everything
Being this free
makes me...
Unwilling to sleep
An something wakes inside
ancient primordial
Shout, a plea.
I glance at my window
The pull is stronger there.
I need an escape
From life's future wears.
I slip on some shoes
The colors melt.
I step outside,
The cards yet to be delt.
Each diamond,
Too prettily crafted
For human eye.
But I get to see,
Them all
In the sky
Shining
Like the colors of you.
Colors of everyone
Of everything
Being this free

Gold
Gold
Gold
Gold
Why so bold?
I'm spinning around your
Tightened hold.
You don't know it,
But I do
Can't stop thinking about you.
Blinded by fabric,
Spun out of greed.
So focused, so focused
I cannot see.
Had that chance,
Never won.
Tried and tried to escape
From the poison
Foggy is my mind
And blinded is my eye,
Will I end up
Another rigged die?
Tightened my grip,
Just for kicks.
After a while I started to slip.
I make sound when...
Gold
Gold
Why so bold?
I'm spinning around your
Tightened hold.
You don't know it,
But I do
Can't stop thinking about you.
Blinded by fabric,
Spun out of greed.
So focused, so focused
I cannot see.
Had that chance,
Never won.
Tried and tried to escape
From the poison
Foggy is my mind
And blinded is my eye,
Will I end up
Another rigged die?
Tightened my grip,
Just for kicks.
After a while I started to slip.
I make sound when...

To All The People I've Known Before
I've got to know some people, they're nice.
Made a few friends once or twice.
But years they keep on fading
And my life just goes on changing.
The years they kept on slipping past.
The friends I made, they never last.
I had to push them further away
For my future, they couldn't stay.
But does future come in front of
The spell love casts?
I wish I could look back
And see them once more
Because the fact is
those people I adored.
Maybe I could
In another life.
I made an opportunity, ...
Made a few friends once or twice.
But years they keep on fading
And my life just goes on changing.
The years they kept on slipping past.
The friends I made, they never last.
I had to push them further away
For my future, they couldn't stay.
But does future come in front of
The spell love casts?
I wish I could look back
And see them once more
Because the fact is
those people I adored.
Maybe I could
In another life.
I made an opportunity, ...

Uncertain Path
The uncertainty
Making it hard to see
Through the darkness
How can it be?
It's cloudy
My future, I mean.
I'm worried
I'll never achieve what I can be.
I know it's
Not set in stone.
And that's what worries
Me so.
I want it badly,
More than I could ever know.
Then why is it so hard
To find a way to go?
To go to my future,
my rightful place.
To find all the hardships
I must eventually face.
To go to the sky,
where all dreams take place.
Why is it so hard to...

Then why is it so hard
To find a way to go?
To go to my future,

To find all the hardships
