White Picket Castle
I have all my things away
In here
With me
I can get them when I need
But not
Today
What's the use in trying to stay
Inside
The seams
Where you stitched your hopes and dreams
Back in
The day
There are some who will
Always let you down
(always let you down)
There are people who will
Chain your feet to the ground
(to the ground)
White picket castles were built
To fall down
To fall down
This old sunken vessel is where I sleep
It's not worth a nickel but it pays my keep
Uh-oh, where's your white picket castle but where
You seat yourself now?
Walk until my knees get weak
My eyes
They stare
Sunken, tangled in my hair
They comb
The street
Spare a piece of something deep
For me, yeah
To share
If it's something I can wear
It's yours
To keep
There are some who will
Always let you down
(always let you down)
There are people who will
Chain your feet to the ground
(to the ground)
White picket castles were built
To fall down
To fall down
Oh! this old sunken vessel is where I sleep
It's not worth a nickel but it pays my keep
Where's your white picket castle but where
You seat yourself now?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This old sunken vessel is where I sleep
Oh, It's not worth a nickel but it pays my keep
Oh, Where's your white picket castle but where
You seat yourself now?
In here
With me
I can get them when I need
But not
Today
What's the use in trying to stay
Inside
The seams
Where you stitched your hopes and dreams
Back in
The day
There are some who will
Always let you down
(always let you down)
There are people who will
Chain your feet to the ground
(to the ground)
White picket castles were built
To fall down
To fall down
This old sunken vessel is where I sleep
It's not worth a nickel but it pays my keep
Uh-oh, where's your white picket castle but where
You seat yourself now?
Walk until my knees get weak
My eyes
They stare
Sunken, tangled in my hair
They comb
The street
Spare a piece of something deep
For me, yeah
To share
If it's something I can wear
It's yours
To keep
There are some who will

Oh! this old sunken vessel is where I sleep

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This old sunken vessel is where I sleep
Oh, It's not worth a nickel but it pays my keep
Oh, Where's your white picket castle but where
You seat yourself now?
