Song Lyrics

A house of cards, a supple heart,
Is not a place to dwell.
Now you have you're cake, don't hesitate,
Common just do it, Common just do it.
Put it in your mouth, there is only now,
Tomorrow has to wait.
But know there's no backing out.
This is going to be reality,
You can never dream it down.
I have, No way, Of tellin',
The two, Apart.
Well I made amends, in the general sense,
Of the Devils in the details.
And I know the cost, and I want to stop.
But I can't do it, I just can't do it.
There was love I meant, there were accidents,
So tell me which is which.
'Cause I just can't work it out,
But for memory and clarity, we had better write it down.
I have, no way, of knowing,
The truth, with time, dissolves.
I put the past into the ground,
I saw the future as a cloud,
If there's still time to turn around,
I'm going to.
It's just some day I fell asleep,
And now all day, all night I dream,
I am the first one I deceive,
If I can make myself believe,
The rest,
Is easy.
