Sandcastles (feat. Scott Tran)

Sandcastles

Sandy castle near the water
The still air inside a cave
When the wishes that were granted
Turn to ashes all the same
It's ok, in the end
All that was given was well spent
Turn to living in the moment

As I look towards the sea
Where the ocean's but a wave
Not a photograph
But moving
Like a picture's fickle frame

Not a painting, more a beauty and a beast
Can't foretell, can't foresee
What this moment's meant to be
What will pass, what will last
By the ocean in the sand
What's the castle meant to stand
And what'll wash away

What is it we crave (What is it we crave)
In that quiet cave (In that quiet cave)
Why fight the change (Why fight the change)
Why can't we just accept we cannot stay?
Why is the eternal quest
To outdo and out-best
When in motion with the ocean
It's the sands we can not test

Ahhh ahhh

Why the capture, why the hook?
All the moments that it took
String of promise
Makes a net
Why is it I can't forget
Swimming hard against the current
Makes you only much more strained
While the salt in the water open wounds likes to spray

What is it we crave (What is it we crave)
In that quiet cave? (In that quiet cave)
Why fight the change? (Why fight the change)
Why can't we just accept we cannot stay?
Why is the eternal quest
To outdo and out-best
When in motion with the ocean
It's the sands we can not test

Ahh Ahh Ahhh Ahhh

When the soul's laid bare (When the soul's laid bare)
That's when the truth we share (That's when the truth we share)

All I promised I you gave
In the caverns of this cave
Hollow echoes of false hope
Must we lie so we can make
Our sandcastles in the sun
Just to cope and not to run
This mirage is all we know

And now it gave away
And now it gave away
And now it gave away
