This is the castle that you've built Falling in tune with a phrase of guilt Keeping in rhythm with it always Just sway to the beat of your heartache This is the key to the door you closed Bury yourself with the strain you hold Keeping in time with an end of scene The curtain will close as you die unseen Confide to what captures you Confide to what's seeping through Confide to what captures you Confide to what's seeping through And how did it come to this? You're gambling time with yourself Watching it slip through your hands Your legacy lost in the sand And how did it come to this? You're gambling time with yourself Watching your life from the stage Your legacy burned on the page This is the light that burned out long Long before you had a chance to become A figure that echoes in melodies A figure that burns in your memory This is the line that you wrote in your will Crippling poison allows you to wilt Shuffling bones in the hallway You're loosing yourself as you're falling Confide to what captures you Confide to what's seeping through Confide to what captures you Confide to what's seeping through And how did it come to this? You're gambling time with yourself Watching it slip through your hands Your legacy lost in the sand And how did it come to this? You're gambling time with yourself Watching your life from the stage Your legacy burned on the page Crooked smiles Half laughs running through my skin And through my freckles As the time pa**es The gla** hits my lips like the softest sweetest kiss It's a bittersweet reminder of all the life I've left slip by here I'll take it to bed if it keeps me warm I'll swim till im dead and i'll swim no more I'll see where it ends, and i'll see the shore I'll see where it ends, and i'll swim no more
