Through my telescope, I can analyze
What I don't understand, I judge and criticize
From my hiding place in the loneliness
I fear I'öö lose control of my tainted soul
Living in a time that is so hard to understand
Watching everybody stake and claim
The Promised Land
Say they know the way or what you can
Depend upon
I realize we've gone too far
If I were born another man and personality
Maybe in a distant and far off galaxy
Somewhere in the universe there is a place for me
I'm telling you
We're living in a house of cards
It's not ignorance, I have really tried
To see every side and put away my pride
From my solitude in the dark and cold
Now my Shangri-La seems unreachable
Living in a time that is so hard to understand
Watching everybody stake and claim
The Promised Land
Say they know the way or what you can
Depend upon
I realize we've gone too far
If I were born another man and personality
Maybe in a distant and far off galaxy
Somewhere in the universe there is a place for me
I'm telling you
We're living in a house of cards
I cannot deny or be a stranger to myself
I'm looking in the mirror and blaming no one else
This house of cards is falling as I turn and walk away
I realize we've gone too far
What I thought was nothing might be
Something after all
All the hidden meanings beyond what I control
Struck by all the fear abd weakness
Hiding deep within
I'm telling you we're living in a house of cards
