I held a deck of cards
To help me tell apart
The real life, when times got hard again
Once dealt the ace of clubs
When I saw a royal flush
That's when I knew I was lost
Inside this maze of corridors
Empty places
Are the space I have to occupy when my hand's not right
Ten, jack, queen, king, and an ace are
Dealt no matter the shuffle of the night
When everything's going right
Once more I end this dream
How I wish I'd never leave
Cause real life brings me to my knees
Sometimes I deal face down
So I can have a little more hope now
The wind blows and shows each face
How I know I must escape
Empty places
Are the space I have to occupy when my hand's not right
Ten, jack, queen, king, and an ace are
Dealt no matter the shuffle of the night
When everything's going right
I try to find meaning in life and not in sleep
So soon in time
I can cash my chips out and leave
I wanna walk away
Walk away
Away
Empty places
Are the space I have to occupy when my hand's not right
Ten, jack, queen, king, and an ace are
Dealt no matter the shuffle of the night
When everything's going right
