the words sort of came to me one night...


House of Cards

"Those who stand for nothing fall for anything" - Alexander Hamilton

"Human brutes, like other beasts, find snares and poison in the provision of life, and are allured by their appetites to their destruction" - Jonathan Swift

If the walls cave in
And the power goes out
Then the watts are connected
And the ceiling lies numb on your face
And the scene lies numb on your face

If the roof springs a leak
And the doorbell is jammed
Then the notes will drone forever
And the kettle pours onto your head
And the scene pours onto your head

If the windows are smashed
And the heater explodes
Then the flames will swallow
And the air turns your blood cold
And the scene turns your blood cold
