Building Castles

from Opus Mar (2017)

Lyrics

I swear I've been here once before
Spilling my guts out on the floor
And you will see, oh, what it's done to me
I swear I've told this lie before
Can't tell it from the truth no more
Convinced myself, oh, I create what's real

Just like a tower, we build it up brick by brick
Until we finally reach the top

On and on and on, we struggle
Building castles out of the rubble
On and on and on (we struggle)
On and on and on (we struggle)
On and on and on, we struggle
Building castles out of the rubble
On and on and on (we struggle)
On and on and on (we struggle)

I swear I've tasted bliss like this
Almost forgot that it exists
Come breathe it in, oh
Hope it won't escape

Just like a fire, we stoke it up stick by stick
Until we're burning this whole place up

On and on and on, we struggle
Building castles out of the rubble
On and on and on (we struggle)
On and on and on (we struggle)
On and on and on, we struggle
Building castles out of the rubble
On and on and on (we struggle)
On and on and on (we struggle)

Listen, listen, listen
Listen carefully because I'm not going to tell you twice
Nothing ever comes for free
There's always gotta be a price

Get up and feel that struggle
Getting in and out of trouble
Double
A bet they can't grab the balls and juggle
I'm drinking, trip and stumble
On and on

Get out and solve that puzzle
Every day you work that hustle
Shuffle
The cards, 'cause the queen don't buckle
Under the heat, keep it up, and struggle
On and on

Just like a tower, we build it up brick by brick
Until we finally reach the top

On and on and on, we struggle
Building castles out of the rubble
On and on and on, we struggle
On and on and on, we struggle
On and on and on, we struggle
Building castles out of the rubble
On and on and on, we struggle
On and on and on, we struggle

On and on and on, we struggle
Building castles out of the rubble
On and on and on (we struggle)
On and on and on (we struggle)
On and on and on, we struggle
Building castles out of the rubble
On and on and on (we struggle)
On and on and on (we struggle)

On and on and on, we struggle
Building castles out of the rubble
On and on and on (we struggle)
On and on and on (we struggle)
On and on and on, we struggle
Building castles out of the rubble
On and on and on (we struggle)
On and on and on (we struggle)
