VERSE:
You push me under further still,
filled with doubt, tides pull me out,
but I will swim to every shore.
Changing every face I make,
to make it easier for them to take,
as I take myself away.
CHORUS:
Wild card, listen to me when I say,
nothing here will stay the same.
Wild card, hear me when I say,
this is not a game.
All you know, will fade away.
VERSE:
Demons drag me under,
every move I make is thunder,
sounding alarms to all the machines.
The green light to my enemies,
to charge upon my flesh,
already falsely lead.
CHORUS:
Wild card, listen to me when I say,
nothing here will stay the same.
Wild card, hear me when I say,
this is not a game.
All you know, will fade away.
BRIDGE:
And everyone I've ever known,
has turned to, to you.
And everyone I've ever known,
has turned to, to you.
Free fall, inside my head,
every door is open, no locks to be found broken.
Free fall, in an open room,
all your words, turn to dust.
CHORUS:
Wild card, listen to me when I say,
nothing here will stay the same.
Wild card, hear me when I say,
this is not a game.
All you know, will fade away.
