Sand Castles
Weary and betrayed by
All of his enemies
He tallies each new day that
He says "they have come for me"
Shaken and so heartbroke
By what there is left to do
Simply stranded like a star
A little like me and you
He likes to be left all alone
In his little glass empire
Getting washed away with the foam
And keeping warm by his bonfire
Tired of the tricks and the liars
But not inside of his empire
Not his empire
Simply starving for respect
He's lost all his dignity
He thinks in retrospect
And drowns in humility
Wasting, wash away
He knows it's a waste of time
Thinking of old friends
That he thought were all close behind
He likes to be left all alone
In his little glass empire
Getting washed away with the foam
And keeping warm by the bonfire
Tired of the tricks and the liars
But not inside of his empire
Not his empire
Go sail, sail on back
To where they'll remember you by
If you think that it'll help
It won't always hurt to try
Remember if you want
Something to think of me when
You find that you're upset
Just know that it's all in your head
He likes to be left all alone
In his little glass empire
Getting washed away with the foam
And keeping warm by the bonfire
Tired of the tricks and the liars
But not inside of his empire
Not his empire
Just leave him alone now
He likes to be left all alone
In his little glass empire
All of his enemies
He tallies each new day that
He says "they have come for me"
Shaken and so heartbroke
By what there is left to do
Simply stranded like a star
A little like me and you
He likes to be left all alone
In his little glass empire
Getting washed away with the foam
And keeping warm by his bonfire
Tired of the tricks and the liars
But not inside of his empire
Not his empire
Simply starving for respect
He's lost all his dignity
He thinks in retrospect
And drowns in humility
Wasting, wash away
He knows it's a waste of time
Thinking of old friends
That he thought were all close behind
He likes to be left all alone
In his little glass empire
Getting washed away with the foam
And keeping warm by the bonfire
Tired of the tricks and the liars
But not inside of his empire
Not his empire
Go sail, sail on back
To where they'll remember you by
If you think that it'll help
It won't always hurt to try
Remember if you want
Something to think of me when
You find that you're upset
Just know that it's all in your head
He likes to be left all alone
In his little glass empire
Getting washed away with the foam
And keeping warm by the bonfire
Tired of the tricks and the liars
But not inside of his empire
Not his empire
Just leave him alone now
He likes to be left all alone
In his little glass empire
