I know you walked across the bridge

I bet you counted every step

You left your house at 5 a.m.

It’s pretty clear you haven’t slept

You’ve got stories for your scars

I can see the lies you tell

Your paper cuts from playing cards

While you bleed out in your sterile cell

Drawing boxes on the subway

Draw your sword and lay it down

Draw your King of Hearts

if your life is a deck of cards

But you don’t need to wear his crown

I snuck up to the roof with you

I watched you screaming at the world

Close the door to ignorance

And open up to insecure

You say you’re falling out of touch

You’re running out of steam

But it takes a lot to cross a bridge

And not go swimming in that stream

Drawing boxes on the subway

Draw your sword and lay it down

Draw your King of Hearts

if your life is a deck of cards

But you don’t need to wear his crown

Ba dah-da da da...

Drawing boxes on the subway

Draw your sword and lay it down

Draw your King of Hearts

if your life is a deck of cards

But you don’t need to wear his crown

Draw your King of Hearts

if your life is a house of cards

But you don’t need to wear his...

Don’t let him push you in the...
