Holy House of Cards

Reason used to run this town
She’s sleeping on the bookshelves now
The years unravel and the ink spills out
But nobody knows her name

The queen stripped of her royal crown
They buried her well above ground
A throne in exile still holds clout
But nobody knows her name

Holy house of cards
She stands as one or falls apart
She’s got stories in her scars
And a glory that’ll pass on the fame

Take a good long look all around
The weight of her words isn’t sound
Her life’s her belief, her whisper’s a shout
But nobody knows her name

Holy house of cards
She stands as one or fall apart
She’s got stories in her scars
And a glory that’ll pass on the fame

Holy house of cards
She stands as one or falls apart
She’s got stories in her scars
And a glory that’ll pass on the fame

Holy house of cards
She couldn’t help but fall apart
She collapsed into my arms
And I found that I was made to do the same
