Ramifications and Us

The cards have been dealt and the game has been won
But we continue playing till we come undone
We act nonchalant and devoid of expectation
We are nothing much but victims of affectation

ok go ahead pretend all you want
but i'll still think that you are nice
but do you think that - that would break any ice?
or its probably tactful deceit that would take you by surprise!

the ice breaking is over I believe
so where is then the need to deceive
and it is in these superstitions that you believe...
where lies and legends are meant to forever live...

if what I believe to be true is a lie
then I ought to take wings and go fly
maybe its a legend that we actually die
but its in the realms of eternity that we forever lie...

but why on earth do you refer to deceit?
when all you really are is someone very sweet
because the birthright of a cardsharper is to lie and cheat...
there lies his victory and his defeat

but every cardsharper has to confront an ace or a queen
and thats when he turns from "is" to "has been"
but then if we blur out the lies in between
we would realize that the grass is actually green…

cardsharper apart there is a truth in you
which lies hidden and is visible to few
so no matter how much you indulge in a self-criticize
I will always believe that you are true and wise.
