In this Polariod, we smiled
And made pretense
But deep in the verandahs
Of our heart,
Our love was orphaned
From the very start.
It cries of the daily circles
We run
Yet, we chose to to believe everything
Was alright
In this electric castle,
Everything in it is misery
This castle was built with bricks
Of hatred and lies
It was built with kisses
Drenched in betrayal
A perfect castle of lies
A castle that breaks our heart
To make us live again
This electric Castle --
Electrocutes us
Yet, we don't want to let go
But lets keep the pretense
Lets keep on decorating the castle
We knew we are over
But we kept on going
We were ostriches
With wings that could not soar
But we stayed in this castle to feed
Our lovely illusions.
These gates bar us in
The titles King and Queen
Of hearts which long ago
Stopped beating with passion
But now beat only to keep us breathing
Keep us from going at each other.
Because we are tired
Of the revelations of truth we open
When we pour our hearts out
The wreching pain
I knew truth hurts but I didn't
Know it could maim
The fear of loving again.
But stuck in this electric castle
that shocks my heart
Charging again and again
200, 360, 366
Then it beats once more
I only wish it had had dumsor
