Lyrics
Verse 1 - Soft Piano & Strings
I watch you walk these empty halls
Talking to the barren walls
You wear that paper crown so proud
Speaking to an absent crowd
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Pre-Chorus
Your eyes don't see what's real anymore
You're drifting further from the shore
Chorus - Building Intensity
I see you slipping through my hands
Making castles in the sand
You're dancing with the morning light
Chasing visions in the night
(La-la-la, oh)
Verse 2 - Adding Guitars
You tell me stories of your throne
Of kingdoms that you rule alone
But all I see's an empty chair
And bitter words that fill the air
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Chorus - Full Band
I see you slipping through my hands
Making castles in the sand
You're dancing with the morning light
Chasing visions in the night
Bridge - Heavy
Can't you hear me calling out?
Can't you see beyond your doubt?
Everything you think you own
Is just a lie you've always known
Guitar Solo
Heavy riffs with string accompaniment
Final Chorus - Full Metal
I see you slipping through my hands
Making castles in the sand
You're dancing with the morning light
Chasing visions in the night
Outro - With Choir
(Choir: Ah-ah-ah, fading away)
The crown is falling from your head
The kingdom's only in your head
I wish that you could understand
It's time to leave this nowhere land
(Choir: Ah-ah-ah, fading away)
