House of Cards Lyrics

One by one
The balancing act has begun
Place with precision
Keep up the illusion
Nothing to see here move along

Piece by piece
An intricate web of deceit
The roof and the wall
Are destined to fall
With foundations of sand under feet

A house of cards appears regal and tall
Sturdy and strong above it all
But one puff of air brings it all to the ground
A house of cards comes tumbling down

The truth will set you free

He said, she said
Diversions hung by a thread
Hard to stay on track
While watching the back
Truth and a lie can't be wed

A house of cards appears regal and tall
Sturdy and strong above it all
But one puff of air brings it all to the ground
A house of cards comes tumbling down

What kind of life is built upon lies?
The drama will only increase
Smiles wide with averted eyes
Where does the liar find peace?

A house of cards appears regal and tall
Sturdy and strong above it all
But one puff of air brings it all to the ground
A house of cards comes tumbling down

The truth will set you free
