Lyrics

11 - Sandcastles
VERSE 1
Time can never erase what happened here
I can never replace this finest dust of years
All that’s left of our sandcastles
Are fading walls, bleeding hearts and empty vessels
CHORUS 1
Why should I build anything more?
What will I become but dust?
Just like my castles
My sandcastles
VERSE 2
Time will never erase this damage here
Sure the tides will come, but just to move it along
Put to rest, despite what we invest
Watch the waves, take all we loved away
CHORUS 2
Why should I build anything more?
What will I become but dust?
Just like my castles
My sandcastles
BRIDGE
So let’s turn these misshapen mounds of sand
Into fortresses of stone and gold
Don’t wait, we’ve finally taken the bait
And taken control of our fates yeah
Our fates, yeah
VERSE 3
And time will never erase what happened here
And I will be replaced by something just as sincere
So take a breath of my sandcastles
The sturdy walls, the drawbridge falls
To welcome destiny, yeah
VERSE 4
Time will never erase our buildings here
Sand’s a different form, a nomad living austere
In deserts of the castles gone
To wind and light and death and flight
And bone, the finality is shown so
CHORUS 3
Why should I build anything more?
What will I become, but dust?
just like my castles? Oh woah

Na na nana na na
Na na nana na na
Na na nana na na
Na na nana na na
Na na nana na na
Na na nana na na

My sandcastles
(Why should I build anything?)
My sandcastles
(Why should I build anything?)
My sandcastles
(Why should I build anything?)
My sandcastles, woah
(Why should I build anything?)
