Castles

I'm running away from the warmth of my mother
Say my goodbyes
I'll miss the breeze
And the kiss of a lover
I'll leave a note
Apologies to my two older brothers
You'll have the world down at your feet oh
You'll have the world down at your feet oh
I'm running away from the sickness that keeps me up at night
I tried to reason with the voices
Am I losing my mind
Yet I can't believe I found the girl of my dreams
I can't believe I found the girl in my dreams
I can't believe oh

So tell my precious
That'll miss her
Don't judge me for the sins
That I left resting on your shoulders
There's more to life than just
The flashes and your camera pictures
But I hope you find
I hope you find the time to
Look beyond the mirrors
When your world comes crashing
I hope you find
Someone to keep that heartbeat racing
In sickness and in health
I hope you find your true religion
Your sun in stormy weather
Cause half of all these books
Just preach about
Whose faith runs deeper
I'm running away from everything that I know
And all of the lights
Don't mend the cracks in my bones
I'm running away from everything that I know
You built us a castle but it don't feel like home

So to my father
Yeah I'm sorry that I dropped out of college
I couldn't give into their rituals and pretend to be honest
I know you hate the fact
That I chose to leave the world behind
Your name around my neck
Was like watching the world through blurry eyes
And I don't mean that phrase with disrespect
Cause I owe this life to you
So I'll take off the rope around my neck
And leap right off the roof oh
I don't want to go to sleep afraid of my pillow
I don't want to go to sleep at all

I'm running away from the warmth of my mother
Say my goodbyes
I'll miss the breeze
And the kiss of a lover
I'll leave a note
Apologies to my two older brothers
You'll have the world down at your feet oh
You'll have the world down at your feet oh
I'm running away from the sickness that keeps me up at night
I tried to reason with the voices
Am I losing my mind

I hope you know I wore my heart on my sleeve don't
Shed a tear when I forget how to breathe oh
When I forget how to breathe oh
When I forget how to breathe oh
When I forget how to breathe oh
