Annie Moscow: Songs

House of Cards

(Annie Moscow)
April 7, 2007
Annie Moscow
Hair on my pillow
Hair on the bathroom floor
Pieces of me
That I can’t hold anymore
Dust on my windowpane
Mold on the shower door
Can’t keep this picture
Perfect anymore

It feels like falling
It feels like falling
It feels like falling
It feels like

Everything you taught me
Was a lie
I built my castle to your specifications
I built my castle on stilts in California
This house of cards
It will fall before dawning

It feels like falling
It feels like falling
It feels like falling through an open abyss
Falling down

Your embrace
Sustains me
The mem’ry of your skin
Gives me the strength to go in to
This house of cards
It will fall before the dawning
