Sandcastle Kingdoms

Intro: verse 1 What can I make and what can I sell? A timeshare in heaven that's just out of hell Am I a fraud or a genuine scam? Am I a monster or worse, just a man? In the end we're all the same To the grave we only take our names There's an ocean made of dreams But the current strands you out at sea I wake up to find The passing of time Made my mirror show Someone I don't know Now with my own hands Build castles from sand But all kingdoms drown As tides bring them down verse 2 My army has fallen, ambitions have burned The subjects stay loyal but don't wait their turn Now blindly they follow their king to the fray But he has no action and they have no say In the end we're bound to change We're made for more than all of these numbers and names We could all go down in flames Or put it out, relinquish these words from my mouth I wake up to find The passing of time Made my mirror show Someone I don't know Now with my own hands Build castles from sand But all kingdoms drown As tides bring them down The sirens they sing Laments just for me I fall to my knees And beg for release When my kingdom comes My will be undone My world then decides Where to hang my hide In the end we're bound to change Bound to change We could all go down in flames Maybe one day you'll find humanity Until then don't you dare say that we are the same
