Cards and Creeds

I put my hands on the table
I think I know what hand I've been dealt
But you know of what I'm capable
and even as I'm embittered you feel what I've felt

So I won't give up
I won't go close shut
I will lay these grievances
upon my heedlessness
and on them this one broken part
of a start when the sun swells up
and the start is just the beginning of enough
I won't give up
you are enough

I place my heart in the deck
It's a bit embered over
I can't recall the day I began my trek
I've tried everything from the spades to the clovers

But I have this one thing
its the wild card
I drop the game I've been playing
and places all my tally marks inside your scars


So I won't give up
I won't go close shut
I will lay these grievances
upon my heedlessness
and on them this one broken part
of a start when the sun swells up
and the start is just the beginning of enough
I won't give up
you are enough
