The fear is in your face
No more hiding out
You better grab your fate
That’s what it’s all about
Falling in her arms again
I swore I’d never go
Falling in her arms
Knowing well I need to let go
Face this or drown in misery
(Give me the faith to let go)
Reaching for what I can’t achieve
(I need a miracle)
Running through night and day
(To find a way out)
It’s all in my hands today
(I’ll find a way out)
Face this or drown in misery
Bite your tongue and keep your hands up
Come back around and I hear the sound
Of every doubt and thought I chase and feed
Complicated, my thoughts abrasive
The fear of change in control of me
Look into your soul
Do you see what you’re looking for?
Holding on too long, maybe I just gotta let it go
Face this or drown in misery
(Give me the faith to let go)
Reaching for what I can’t achieve
(I need a miracle)
Running through night and day
(To find a way out)
It’s all in my hands today
(I’ll find a way out)
Face this or drown in misery
Bite your tongue and keep your hands up
Will you see this through
You gonna runaway
Face this or drown in misery
(Give me the faith to let go)
Reaching for what I can’t achieve
(I need a miracle)
Running through night and day
(To find a way out)
It’s all in my hands today
(I’ll find a way out)
Face this or drown in misery
Bite your tongue and keep your hands up

The Cards I Play
The Cards I Play is an alternative nu-metal band hailing from Tokyo, Japan. Since their formation in 2019, they have been carving out a distinct presence in Japan's heavy music scene, rapidly building momentum with their explosive sound and raw energy. Fusing the intensity of metalcore, the grit of nu-metal, and the attitude of hip hop, the band delivers a genre-bending sound that feels both cutting-edge and unmistakably their own - bold, unfiltered, and fiercely dynamic. 2024 marked a breakthrough year: they headlined their first-ever solo show and completed a nationwide headline tour, proving their draw as a live act. They also lit up the stage as the opening act at SiM's 'DEAD POP FESTiVAL' and joined UK heavyweights WHILE SHE SLEEPS as the guest act for their entire Japan tour. With buzz continuing to build, The Cards I Play are now gearing up for their biggest chapter yet - the release of their highly anticipated second full-length album later this year, followed by their first full-scale solo headline tour across Japan
