We live in cardboard castles and play games where we set ourselves on fire We stack our house of cards so we can try to catch the kings as we knock it down We wear armor made of spun glass and throw ourselves off of bridges just to watch it shatter We like to smile and pretend that we're okay and sometimes it even works.

Cardboard Can Burn
We live in cardboard castles and play games where we set ourselves on fire We stack our house of cards so we can try to catch the kings as we knock it down We wear armor made of spun glass and throw ourselves off of bridges just to watch it shatter We like to smile and pretend that we're okay and sometimes it even works.
