After the sunset I hide Nothing can hurt me there No tears to be shed No flesh to be torn The castle shields me from the war Prevents me from hurting Even if just for a little while The castle is what I love most Kissing the dark of the sky Dancing in the moonlight Even if just for a little while Making me look up from my scars Getting me to dwell on the little piece of life left in me In the castle, I am alive, I am home Even if just for a little while When the sun goes up I have to return To the hell I was born in Getting beaten to filaments All the hate flows back in me Insulating me Dragging me down deeper and deeper Burning me to ash In the dark heat I long To the cherry nights under the stars And in the dark paradise I prance Under the bright glazing sun

The Castle
After the sunset I hide Nothing can hurt me there No tears to be shed No flesh to be torn The castle shields me from the war Prevents me from hurting Even if just for a little while The castle is what I love most Kissing the dark of the sky Dancing in the moonlight Even if just for a little while Making me look up from my scars Getting me to dwell on the little piece of life left in me In the castle, I am alive, I am home Even if just for a little while When the sun goes up I have to return To the hell I was born in Getting beaten to filaments All the hate flows back in me Insulating me Dragging me down deeper and deeper Burning me to ash In the dark heat I long To the cherry nights under the stars And in the dark paradise I prance Under the bright glazing sun
