lyrics

A spade — is — played — again

Rebuilding it again from a breakdown
Feeling the urge inside yourself to get down
When the clouds of doubt begin to circle ‘round
Throw your cards in the air in a rush of sound
And you don’t care where they fall

Watching out for the…
Distant hands following the protocol of constraint
It’s a cold game that you haven’t got the time for.

A spade — is — played — again

Stacking it again from scratch after a breakdown
You tell yourself that it’s time to skip this town
And if a crack appears in the walls around you
It’s a sign that soon enough you’ll break through
And no, you won’t have to crawl

Watching out for the…
Shuffling hands playing out tired tricks, going nowhere
It’s a cold game that you haven’t got the time for.
It’s a cold game… No longer need those limits anymore

Rebuilding it all again from a breakdown
Feeling the urge inside yourself that can’t drown
