Peter Litvin - Boxes and Stone lyrics

[Verse 1] One by one they fell The walls could not control The mob too strong to quell A storm too large to hold [Pre-Chorus] And a kingdom of bliss It was gone with a hiss Late at night, close my eyes All alone, reminisce [Chorus] Of when I owned a city That towered over trees So big it blocked the sun, the moon, the stars And all you could see And in there stood a castle With a solid gold throne Where I sat at the top of the world The king of boxes and stone Of boxes and stone [Verse 2] The haunting glow within Coal embers burning bright And each breath of the wind Reminds me of the time [Pre-Chorus] When a kingdom of bliss It was gone with a hiss Late at night close my eyes All alone reminisce [Chorus] Of when I owned a city That towered over trees So big it blocked the sun, the moon, the stars And all you could see And in there stood a castle With a solid gold throne Where I sat at the top of the world The king of boxes and stone Of boxes and stone [Verse 3] In the dark by the torchlight Forge the tools that I need To a**emble to the walls that fall Each night inside of my dreams And so I'll keep on stacking Blocks on top of blocks still Because if I don't build myself a giant city Who will? [Chorus] And I will build a city That towers over trees So big it blocks the sun, the moon, the stars And all you could see And there will stand a castle With a solid gold throne Where I'll sit at the top of the world The king of boxes and stone Of boxes and stone [Outro] Of boxes and stone
