sandcastles

castle by the ocean
water slow to break you down
i’m here skipping stones
i should have known this love would drown
'cause they’ll destroy you before too long
the tides conspire a million strong
but you’re holding on
you keep holding on
castle by the ocean
you were sold out
i never learn
fireworks bleed in slow bloom
above the tidepools
the colours blur
and they’ll destroy you before too long
the tides conspire a million strong
but you’re holding on
you keep holding on
it’s the same old ending
it’s still a lie
i saw the jetstreams
bruise the sky
