lyrics

Hey girl in line
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Yours are so fucking divine
It must be some sort of sign

Hey lover outside
 I keep thinking of other times
The cards played are like a crime
I will take back what's mine

The ending came out so wrong
I had planned it out for so long

The water flowing through my veins
I'm so ready to rip off my face
Replace it with another one of your hands
To hold you close every day

Hey world out there
You make me rip out my hair
Your dealings, they seem so fair
But now I am much more aware

I am stuck under the world's glare
Only now did I start to care

I am the jack of hearts
You were my Joan of arc
We killed the king of spades
The joker became the start
He was the real king of hearts
My club was my hidden ace
The queen was under a cloak
My trump two arms to embrace

I’ll get out of my chair
And blow out my brains
Because after this hand
It’ll all be the same
I awoke the destroyer
He commanded my eyes
My final hand was a bluff
But no one was surprised

I just wanted to die
I wanted to restart and die

I wanted everything to change
Thoughts breeding inside of my head
Unable to do this without you
Oh god I wish I was...
