[Verse 1]
Amid the ruins of shattered dreams unsung,
She builds her throne from fragments not her own.
A phoenix feeding off the dying sun,
She sings of loss in counterfeit tones.
[Pre-Chorus]
But when the final chord begins to fade,
She's lost within the silence she has made.
[Chorus]
She builds her castle on their sands,
Writes their stories with her hands.
Again, again, their cries she sings,
Ascending high on borrowed wings.
[Verse 2]
Among the tombs where mourners softly tread,
She plucks the fading roses from their hands.
A thief who steals the words the grieving said,
She writes their stories in her shifting sands.
[Pre-Chorus]
But when the final chord begins to fade,
She's lost within the silence she has made.
[Chorus]
She builds her castle on their sands,
Writes their stories with her hands.
Again, again, their cries she sings,
Ascending high on borrowed wings.
[Bridge]
Beneath the surface of her crafted lies,
A heart untouched by all the silent cries.
In hidden depths where silent sorrows flow,
She finds herself lost in the undertow.
[Chorus]
She builds her castle on their sands,
Writes their stories with her hands.
Again, again, their cries she sings,
Ascending high on borrowed wings.

Castles On Their Sands
