House of Cards

V6

You spent years telling me I was far too loud to stay Too much grit, too much edge, better tone it all away Keep your pretty little head down, colour inside the lines Sign away your spark and just worship our designs You genuinely thought if you pushed me to the wall I’d apologise for breathing and behave inside your hall Oh sweethearts, that wasn't compliance in my eyes I was simply taking notes while you bought your own lies! You built a house of cards and called it solid ground Told everyone to whisper so you wouldn't hear a sound You want everyone quiet, predictable, and tame Sorry to ruin your little royal game! I didn't break your system, I just saw right through the scam! You thought you had control until you realised who I am! You wrote a million rules just to keep the kingdom small I pulled one little thread and made the whole facade fall! You call me difficult, I call it being smart I was ten steps ahead before you even made a start! Clause thirty says to fit the mould and never make a scene Act like you’re thrilled to be another cog in the machine You love a shiny puppet who just nods and plays along Never second-guessing if the whole damn thing is wrong You set the game board up, thought you cornered every street I didn't even flip the board, I made you taste defeat! You built a house of cards and called it solid ground Told everyone to whisper so you wouldn't hear a sound You want everyone quiet, predictable, and tame Sorry to ruin your little royal game! I didn't break your system, I just saw right through the scam! You thought you had control until you realised who I am! You wrote a million rules just to keep the kingdom small I pulled one little thread and made the whole facade fall! You call me difficult, I call it being smart I was ten steps ahead before you even made a start! You told me I was too much, told me I was too loud Just because I wouldn't bow inside your boring crowd You spent all that time trying to put me in line While I spent mine... taking down your whole design. TIMBER! I didn't break your system, I just saw right through the scam. You thought you had control until you realised who i am...... I didn't break your system, I just saw right through the scam! You thought you had control until you realised who I am! You wrote a million rules just to keep the kingdom small I pulled one little thread and made the whole facade fall! You call me difficult, I call it being smart I was ten steps ahead before you even made a start! You called me the villain for refusing to be small. If standing tall brings down your entire world... Your world was never very strong to begin with.
