House of Cards

Red faced and broken
Knees so hard… ly suspending fears and lies
It’s all pretending
No more
Magic beads and alter calls
Sometimes not that far apart
What you see is what you get
I’ve done that. I’m not forgetting
When faith and love become hallucination
A broken life can find salvation
One step forward two steps back
Three ahead I’m viewing facts again
Crawling now I’ll soon be walking
I smell the air and taste the freedom
Fears of mind that held me closely
Reach out now and try to pull me back
Moving on His power’s plenty
To makes a man out of a baby
When faith and love become hallucination
A broken life can find salvation
But not on these two strong legs
Not on this crowned inflated house of cards
Not if I’m paying my own way
It’s His way
No other way
When faith and love become hallucination
A broken life can find salvation
