"Burn The Deck" lyrics

"Burn The Deck"

Show your cards
Burn the deck
Keep them guessing
Lie for sport
Hide your bags
Don't act nervous
Sit real still
Read the list
Choose a flavor
Don't forget
Take your pills
Super clever

In the treehouse everyone is king
But we all know the water's full of snakes

Take take take
Take all the sympathy
Insult to injury
Break break break
Break the dichotomy
When no one is watching
Can't you see you're caught in the chrysalis?
Can't you see you're drunk on the amethyst?
Cracking the catalyst

Do you like when they say count your blessings?
Do you eat what they grow in the garden?
How about when the fruit's full of poison?
Couldn't you love the sting when you swallow?

Don't forget to laugh at all their jokes
Every time they drag you to the lake

Take take take
Take all the sympathy
Insult to injury
Break break break
Break the dichotomy
When no one is watching
Can't you see you're caught in the chrysalis?
Can't you see you're drunk on the amethyst?
Cracking the catalyst

Show your cards
Burn the deck
Keep them guessing
Show your cards
Burn the deck
Keep them guessing
Show your cards
Burn the deck
Keep them guessing
Show your cards
Burn the deck
Keep them guessing

Take take take
Take all the sympathy
Insult to injury
Break break break
Break the dichotomy
When no one is watching
Can't you see you're caught in the chrysalis?
Can't you see you're drunk on the amethyst?
Cracking the catalyst
