Something's not quite right here. Haunted by new found stability; owning and being owned. Lost love.
lyrics
You built me a castle I can't find.
Every night when he gets home he collapses on the stairs. Every night a step closer to the unprotected street.
When all is said, the lights will turn red, the elements freeze in our heads. When night sets in we plug ourselves in, the elephants sleep in our beds.
You built me a castle I can't find.
Sunday nights the preacher comes and walks around the house. He watches as the shapes drift in...they float through the ceilings.
Uptown - Downtown - Underground - Outer space - Basement ceilings - Bathroom floors - Caught in the attic space – Sealed off – Cold shower – Burnt wire -out of place – Inside – Outside – I still can't find the place.
You built me a castle I can't find.
Shocks in the motherboard. Sparks shooting out of his mouth and eyes. They said it was home. They said it was home. It's in the fabric of the dress that she wears.
When all is said, the lights will turn red, the elements freeze in our heads. When night sets in we plug ourselves in, the elephants sleep in our beds.
