This song explores the fragility of belief systems that we build over time, focusing on how our limiting beliefs are often constructed on unstable foundations, making them vulnerable to scrutiny. The poignant lyrics reflect a struggle against these shortcomings: "A tower of truths I borrowed, swaying in the breeze, built by hands I never saw, it bends me to my knees... A house of cards can’t hold the weight of who I want to be, so I’ll tear it down, piece by piece, and set my mind free."
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A fragile tower built on borrowed truths,
Each card a voice, a shadow of my youth.
They told me who to be, they told me where to stand,
But their hands were trembling, and the ground was quicksand.
[Pre-Chorus]
The slightest breeze, the faintest shake,
And all I’ve built begins to break.
[Chorus]
House of cards, it all falls down,
The queen, the king, the paper crown.
Piece by piece, I tear apart,
To find the foundation of my heart.
[Verse 2]
I see the scaffolds crumbling in the light,
The truths I’ve feared, the battles I’ve denied.
But in the rubble, there’s a spark, a flame,
A chance to rise and claim my name.
[Bridge]
No more walls, no more disguise,
I’ll build a life that meets my eyes.
[Chorus]
House of cards, it all falls down,
The queen, the king, the paper crown.
Piece by piece, I tear apart,
To find the foundation of my heart.
[Chorus]
House of cards, it all falls down,
The queen, the king, the paper crown.
Piece by piece, I tear apart,
To find the foundation of my heart.
