Broken Ceilings - Wild Card Lyrics

52 Cards in my hand (Deal them out)
I know one of them is calling out to me
I know I can be anything
What is it that I want to be?
It's hard to think (Not as hard as you think)
The possibilities they are all piling on top of me (There's not as many as you think)
I can be anything (I thought) I can be anything
Do you toss me out of the deck
Viewed as useless before it even starts (You have no role to play in this winning hand)
Or Am I just used when I'm needed
Taken advantage of, used for your own gain?
After we are done do I go back too?
Back to the box with the others?
(I have the winning hand) Am I something different?
I thought I knew...
I could be anything!

Searching for my suit in this lifeless world
I know it's nonfiction, I just can't listen
Can I give someone my heart without them folding on me?
I'm tired of feeling like I'm useless
I'll make myself a king

I'm going all in
I have a full house of nothing

I'm not folding
Not just yet, not gonna give up
Even after everything in this world has left me in pieces
I'm going to find my suit, I'm going to find my purpose
There's 52 cards in my hand and one of them is me

We play the hand we've been dealt
Never asking if the cards we wanted ended up somewhere else
If I had my way, I'd put the hand together
But the power to deal isn't mine

We play the game of chances
We've had them all in spades
We thought to fight the house
We called the dreaded raise
We bet on ourselves
We're all flushed out
The flop, the turn, the river
Will they let us down?

I can't believe that I tried to change myself into something I'm not
I just wanted you to admire me for who I am
I am an awkward fool
I didn't mean for you to feel pressured
I hope you know I understand
I hope you know I'll be waiting
I'm not upset with you
I don't want there to be tension in the way we feel
I know the ghost gone yet
We still do not try
We still do not try
We still do not try
We still do not try anything
