Lyrics

You line up your visions in silver and gold
You make your decisions you're acting so bold
As you reach out for ladders which never are there
You see nothing matters, you see no one cares
As you run through the cave with a torch in your hand
You're digging your grave with the backstabbing man
Who offers you dreams which are meant to be broken
And the howling wind laughs as it throws you around
You're flat on your back, you are pinned to the ground
And you scream as you hear another promise spoken
Yet still you keep hoping, you roll out the string
You hide in your room and you hear yourself sing
You build castles of sand
Which will never stand
Without you

Throw out the past and forget all the names
Mold a new cast and forget all the shame
Which you felt as you danced in the light of the sun
A new circumstance in the form of a gun
Which you call a guitar and you hear yourself play
In somebody's car and you know you can't stay
In the job with its promise for tomorrow
And in Suite 515 you're making a scene
With the leapfrogging queen who laughs at your dream
She was once your friend, but now she's your sorrow
Yet still you keep hoping, you roll out the string
You hide in your room and you hear yourself sing
You build castles of sand
Which will never stand
Without you
