WRITTEN IN THE CARDS

Maybe we were married
Or I saved you in the war
But right now we're only strangers
Swearing we have met some time before

We can't ignore how we hypothesized our past lives
Like some part of us already knows how
We found such familiarity
Outside of what's acceptable

So we may not be "Star-Crossed"
But it's written in the cards
I asked Spirit about you
And she says "Be on your guard"

But you woke an Ancient Siren
Now she's singing through the night
With no wax left I've started
To think she might be right

Are we written in the cards?
Or a fallacy of lonely hearts?
Says right here you're not allowed
So I turned them upside down
No, I won't listen

I'm loosing in the shuffle
So I set the deck on fire
And probably cursed my family for millennia to come
A sacrificial pyre to the god of hope
That you'll send me a wire

So we may not be "Star-Crossed"
But it's written in the cards
I asked Spirit about you
And she says "Be on your guard"

But you woke an Ancient Siren
Now she's singing through the night
With no wax left I've started
To think she might be right

Are we written in the cards?
Or a fallacy of lonely hearts?
Says right here you're not allowed
So I turned them upside down
No, I won't listen

The Poets would call us ill-fated
Laugh and say I took the bait
And some primeval part of me agrees

But please
If we're not lovers and can't be friends
I need to know how this life ends
The answer can't be what's in front of me

These three, mean cards
This broken heart

So we may not be "Star-crossed"
But we're written in the cards
I ask Spirit about you
She says "Be on your guard"

But you woke an Ancient Siren
Now she's singing through the night
And I can't block here out cause I've decided that she's right

That we'll beat the odds of Star-crossed
Cause we're written in the cards
That someday I'll wake up
And you'll be standing in my yard

You'll say "fuck what Spirit tells you
They just want you for themselves
I'd look back in defiance, grab you tight and run like hell"

We're not written in the cards
We got twin flame beating hearts
Let's find a life where we're allowed
And drive the kismet out

And I will listen
