lyrics
i have
always
in all my optimistic years
finding vacant hearts
lonely in the castle
wholly hoped hereafter
I
wallow in rivers
wade in sorrows
lonely in the castle
waiting for reply
what guiding force moves through
your veins from mind to limbs
when calling for an answer
darkened windows making dim
what you’d already known
{my optimistic dream
vacant hearts
lonely in the castle
wallow in rivers
wade in sorrows
lonely in the castle}
the throne is a lonely place
the only place for those who make no mistakes
and the shoulders that hold the weight
of the crown gon’ ache till the backbone breaks
in the castle as cold as space
in the kingdom of mold and waste
we play the jesters with golden grace
never licked the spoon but we know the taste...
and I just wanna hold ya face and
feed ya apples like the oldest snake and
maybe undermine the whole charade
until the end of time when our souls escape
it weren’t a race till they told us wait
now we going straight through those open gates
it’s time to awake from this coma state
because your Dreams ain’t supposed to be lowercase no
till the end of time
where we all started out
over and over
we will
fall apart
because there is no space for
wallow in the rivers
wade in the sorrows
lonely in the castle
careful what your after
