(Verse 1) I pulled the Hanged Man, turned him round, Said the answers might be here, in cards I’ve found. A job that never felt quite like it’d stay, And a love that’s gone, too far away. The High Priestess said, "You already knew," The women in power, they'd trouble you. But it’s hard to believe, when it’s written in fate, That safety came from him, who’d seal my state. (Chorus) In the cards, I saw it all unfold, The Fool walked the path, I’d been told. He took the step, I didn’t want to take, But growth was his, and I broke for my sake. And I wonder, is it me or the stars? I find safety where I feared the scars. (Verse 2) I held the Chariot, and felt its pull, How do I balance when the road’s so full? Empathy for him, but none for me, Maybe that’s the only way I stay free. The Emperor offered what I never knew, Male authority that somehow felt true. But the Empress, she cut deep and wide, And now I struggle to find the divide. (Chorus) In the cards, I saw it all unfold, The Fool walked the path, I’d been told. He took the step, I didn’t want to take, But growth was his, and I broke for my sake. And I wonder, is it me or the stars? I find safety where I feared the scars. (Bridge) The Devil said, “Don’t you cling too tight, To the one who gave you peace in the night." But I never thought I’d mourn the loss, Of a bond so strange, now marked with cost. I’ll keep the Magician’s lesson near, Sometimes what we fear holds what we endear. (Chorus) In the cards, I saw it all unfold, The Fool walked the path, I’d been told. He took the step, I didn’t want to take, But growth was his, and I broke for my sake. And I wonder, is it me or the stars? I find safety where I feared the scars. (Outro) The Death card sits, reversed on the floor, Telling me change won’t wait at the door. I’ll walk forward, though the path’s unclear, For the Chariot reminds me, there’s nothing to fear. I’ll trust the cards, but I’ll trust me too, In this journey, I’ll find what’s true.
