Smashing My House Of Cards

Smashing my house of cards
I've been smashing my house of cards
I've been building my house for months or years
with hopeful hands
with care and attention
I'd hoped one day to see heaven from the top
of my house of cards
of my holy house
but it's fallen apart
like dried up twigs
like windows of tears and shards
and I've spent the day crying
and dying and raging
smashing my house of cards
Smashing my house of cards

Sorry for the mess
Sorry for the years of mess
Sorry for the years of work
and all the love lost away
given to my house
building up my house
to see it all come down
To see it all come down
