Lyrics

Take a look at my kingdom, isn't it grand?
You say "There's not much here". I do what I can.
I'm running 'round in circles now, where do I go?
I'm wondering where I fit in life, how do I know?

The ice is melting where we stand
and all my castles made of sand were taken by the sea long ago.
I beg forgiveness for my sins.
All my dreams go with the wind, like a city made of ash.

Take a look ay my prison, my own little cell.
If I lived a life at all, I lived it in hell.
I wanna break right outta here, I wanna be free.
Don't wanna be the rest of you, let me be me.

Oh, I've been pushed right to the edge.
My feet were hanging off the ledge when I opened up my eyes and saw the view.
My grip is weak, the light is dim.
All my dreams go with the wind, like a city made of ash.

I'm tired of being locked away, my soul just wants to fly today.
Forget yesterday, and tomorrow never comes.
My life is going way too fast, each day no different than the last.
So, come on right in. The nightmare's just begun.
These prison walls were built it seems, not only just to hide my screams, but to see if you would scale the walls for me.

Why can't I have it all? The things I earn always burn like a city of ashes.
