Lyrics:

Said your life's a house of cards, and it teeters on the brink
On the edges of window ledges, like a great ship down it sinks

Into the sea bed
With sunken gold
And words that we said

Back when you used to think that your life was precious metals and rose petals
Now, as you've grown up you're finding it's nail-biting and teeth-grinding
That, crown you wore with the rhinestones is now just thorns, needles, and pinecones
Here's one last thing that you must learn too; what keeps you warm can also burn you

Time's sinister sundials make your day hard as city streets
You fall in traps jet black in the hole that your self-pity eats and
I'm playing cards real close to my chest can't see what I've got
One minute we're sub-zero in the same breath piping hot and then

When we are up we're up and then when we are down we're down
Cars crash in perfect fashion but they don't seem to make a sound and now
When I'm hanging with you it feels like I'm hanging myself
Now my phone's off the hook and I lay low, lie low, I go stealth

Because you used to think that your life was precious metals and rose petals
Now, as you've grown up you're finding it's nail-biting and teeth-grinding
That, crown you wore with the rhinestones is now just thorns, needles, and pinecones
Here's one last thing that you must learn too; what keeps you warm can also burn you

Said your life's a house of cards, and it teeters on the brink
On the edges of window L-E-D-G-E-S
Watch the clouds move up above, as we slowly start to fade
You and I had things that cut like a razor blade
