Sandcastle Kingdoms

What can I make and what can I sell?

A time share in heaven that's just out of hell

Am I a fraud or a genuine scam?

Am I a monster or worse just a man?

In the end, we're all the same

To the grave we only take our name

There's an ocean made of dreams

But the current strands you out at sea

I wake up to find the passing of time

Made my mirror show someone I don't know

Now with my own hands, built castles from sand

But all kingdoms drown as tides bring them down

My army has fallen, ambitions have burned

The subjects stay loyal but don't wait their turn

Now blindly they follow their king to the fray

But he has no action and they have no say

In the end we're bound to change

We're made for more than all of these numbers and names

We could all go down in flames

Or put it out, relinquish these words from my mouth

I wake up to find the passing of time

Made my mirror show someone I don't know

Now with my own hands, built castles from sand

But all kingdoms drown as tides bring them down

The sirens they sing laments just for me

I fall to my knees and beg for release

When my kingdom comes, my will be undone

My world then decides, where to hang my hide

In the end we're bound to change

We could all go down in flames

Maybe one day you'll find humanity

Until then don't you dare say that we are the same
