I really enjoyed making the original piece with Marris. So much so that I wanted to do my own version of it, with some lyrics changed.

Life is like a Card Game
You’ve gotta gamble your way home
Who knows what’s ‘round the corner?
You could be standing on your own
I layed my cards on the table
But it wasn’t my turn
I waged my life on the rails
until I watched my heart burn
That’s what you get for taking someone else’s turn
Jealousy and anger are the lessons that I’ve learned.

So keep playing games
I’ll play a game with you
Take my card, The Ace of Hearts
Hold it in your hand
Run as quickly as you can
away from the king of diamond rings.

I may have lost at the last game
Doesn’t mean I’m gonna lose the next one too
A dead mans hand is creeping closer
but will it find it’s way to you?
My face, it begged your forgiveness
as the knave turned to the king
their eyes betray their true intentions
But I, the fool, said not a thing.
The Ace of the spades is the weighing of my sin
I’m crying for redemption
But the house will always win.

So keep playing games
I’ll play a game with you
Take my card, The Ace of Hearts
Hold it in your hand
Run as quickly as you can
away from the king of diamond rings.
