this house of cards you've built has finally fallen down
(and I suppose that you) expect me to come scrape your ego off the ground
...
your little costume party's almost over now
(you know you better run) alone to mama's house before the sun goes down
...
your fifteen minutes are about to just run out
(and how do you expect) any of us to take you seriously now?
Also I'm pretty sure it's always "what will you do when NONE of them want you" etc. but maybe I'm hearing it wrong :<
Anyway I love the new album and this is one of my favorite songs off of it. It's about somebody who talks big because they're insecure about who/what they really are, so they build up a false image/persona (their house of cards) and they won't even take responsibility for the fallout when that eventually comes apart.
