Houdini Lyrics by Cherryade

2016

[Verse 1]
Dealt the wrong cards, glass shards from the get-go
If you work hard then you'll see him in the front row
If you try hard, you won't even start to let go
Shaped from the start, it's a mould you can't outgrow
Chains 'round your brain, it's a pain that you can't see
Trapped in a game and the prize, it's a mystery
Don't use his name out in vain, just to fear it
You say you love your neighbour, but I'm still kind of weary

[Pre-Chorus]
You mother's false tales put the doubt in your house
The pastor down south put his words in your mouth
Your brother's white lies got you stepping out
And the door's locked tight, so you can't even shout
You mother's false tales put the doubt in your house
The pastor down south put his words in your mouth
Your brother's white lies got you stepping out
And the door's locked tight, so you can't even shout

[Chorus]
Living Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Can't escape the game (a-a-ame)
Living Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Hou-hou-hou-hou, hou-hou

Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Can't escape the game (a-a-ame)
Living Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Hou-hou-hou-hou, hou-hou

[Verse 2]
Who are you to point the finger, treat me like I'm Satan
Say that I'm a sinner when your daughter's in the basement
Say you have the f- but your hypocrisy is blatant
Sorry that my life will never meet your expectation
Flat out of line, fighting love of your crime
Waste a handful of time, just to [buck and refine?]
Load of money, when my card gets declined but see
I'm not worried, let morality shine

[Pre-Chorus]
You mother's false tales put the doubt in your house
The pastor down south put his words in your mouth
Your brother's white lies got you stepping out
And the door's locked tight, so you can't even shout
You mother's false tales put the doubt in your house
The pastor down south put his words in your mouth
Your brother's white lies got you stepping out
And the door's locked tight, so you can't even shout

[Chorus]
Living Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Can't escape the game (a-a-ame)
Living Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Hou-hou-hou-hou, hou-hou

Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Can't escape the game (a-a-ame)
Living Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Hou-hou-hou-hou, hou-hou

[Verse 3]
Oh no, you said I'm going to hell
Did the devil put me down just to play in his world
Did I do a trick or cast a magical spell
Is it set in stone or is it more like gel
'Cause you're cracked up like a chip to a tile
Whacked up, chuck a baby in the Nile
Slapped up, your [?] are taking a while
Oh and did I mention he's a ['phile?]
You cut slack when you skip out on the details
And call it facts spreading hatred on the email
Defend your kid, 'cause you find out into females
The burn that bridge, you a bigot on the derail

[Pre-Chorus]
You mother's false tales put the doubt in your house
The pastor down south put his words in your mouth
Your brother's white lies got you stepping out
And the door's locked tight, so you can't even shout
You mother's false tales put the doubt in your house
The pastor down south put his words in your mouth
Your brother's white lies got you stepping out
And the door's locked tight, so you can't even shout

[Chorus]
Living Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Can't escape the game (a-a-ame)
Living Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Hou-hou-hou-hou, hou-hou

Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Can't escape the game (a-a-ame)
Living Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Hou-hou-hou-hou, hou-hou

[Pre-Chorus]
You mother's false tales put the doubt in your house
The pastor down south put his words in your mouth
Your brother's white lies got you stepping out
And the door's locked tight, so you can't even shout
You mother's false tales put the doubt in your house
The pastor down south put his words in your mouth
Your brother's white lies got you stepping out
And the door's locked tight, so you can't even shout

[Chorus]
Living Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Can't escape the game (a-a-ame)
Living Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Hou-hou-hou-hou, hou-hou

Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Can't escape the game (a-a-ame)
Living Houdini
Can't escape the game, can't escape the game
Hou-hou-hou-hou, hou-hou
