Lifehouse - Fairytales Sandcastles lyrics

He says he looks in the mirror And he can't tell anymore Who he really is and who they believe him to be He says he walks a thin line Between what is and what could be And he's getting closer to something he can't understand But there's a crack in his plastic crown And his throne of ice is melting He climbed his ladder, there was nothing there Now it's a long way down It's a long way down On and on and on he goes dancing on the grave Of what he thought was still alive On and on and on he goes, dancing in mansions made of twigs And castles made of sand He says his head is filled with cartoons and fairytales sponsored links He's trapped inside a dungeon of dolls with smiles on their faces He's built a pretty cage It shows on a beautiful stage With candy-coated prison bars and chains that look like j**ellery 'Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown And his throne of ice is melting He climbed his ladder, there was nothing there Now it's a long way down On and on and on he goes dancing on the grave Of what he thought was still alive On and on and on he goes, dancing in mansions made of twigs And castles made of sand On and on and on and on he goes, on and on On and on and on and on he goes, on and on 'Cause he lives inside of fairytales and castles now And there's room inside for false expectations and illusions 'Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown And his throne of ice is melting He climbed his ladder, there was nothing there Now it's a long way down It's a long way down On and on and on he goes dancing on the grave Of what he thought was still alive On and on and on he goes, dancing in mansions made of twigs And castles made of sand On and on and on and on he goes, on and on On and on and on and on he goes, on and on
