Through the brass window sills Past the embroidered ivy green, Lilting voices chorus away Chants of spirits seeking solace In the folds of time, some bygone days The sandcastles we built Couldn't possibly be crumbling away.
I walked away in pregnant hope To build more than ephemeral lies They laced their fingers in mine Crooning a sweet lullaby Stay till the sunset Till the sun bleeds to death Stay, and we'll be connecting dots In the night sky of a glorious past.
Maybe the ruins have in them, What a future never does. Tangible testimony Of a brawl against time But love, I'm letting go Nostalgia is morphine You're wasted on.
Tell me I'm a Titanic Headed for the iceberg You'll forever be a dinghy Tethered to the boardwalk Tomorrow, You'll lose the yesterday You drugged on.
Just me being philosophical about all the things i've left behind.
