Sandcastles Lyrics

Sandcastles built on shaky dreams

Life ain't ever what it seems

Ideas constructed on the eerie beach

Swept away, always just out of reach

Ephemeral visions sculpted in sand

The castles crumble where they stand

Loved ones vanish like mist in the sun

Ties undone just as they've begun

Faces fade in the crowd, unseen

Voices lost in a static scream

In the wake of loss, where do I hide?

Holding on to grains of the past

I know well nothing's meant to last

In the wake of loss, where do I hide?

Holding on to grains of the past

I know well nothing's meant to last

Echoes of laughter

Whispers of pain

Searching for something to anchor the strain

Rebuilding again

But the foundations crack

Certain futures fade into black

Memories in sand

Washed away in the rain

Leaving me broken as nothing remains

(nothing remains)

(nothing is meant to last)

(nothing remains)

In the wake of loss, where do I hide?

Holding on to grains of the past

I know well nothing's meant to last

In the wake of loss, where do I hide?

Holding on to grains of the past

I know well nothing's meant to last

Echoes of a melody

It appears bittersweet

It tells me of better times

I play on repeat

My tears mingle with the rain from outside

My fears converge

Only to collide

I'm building a bridge over a river that roars

Only to reach the opposite shore

Moments are fleeting

Like the sand in my hands

It's being swept away

Nothing is meant to last

(Nothing will)

In the wake of loss, where do I hide?

Holding on to grains of the past

I know well nothing's meant to last

Nothing remains

Nothing remains

Nothing remains

Not a single thing remains
