Castles (Astonishing)

from This Illusive World by Butterfly Convict

lyrics

The world, it's sent you to the corners of existence.
They were so defenseless but it didn't trigger your sympathy.
My instincts told me your motives were fake but I'm wasting my time with this hindsight.

I'm losing myself in these memories.

Deep in my dreams, I'm dieing.
My yellow field’s gone black with ashes.
But I'm back from the past so I'll color the sky
And take my time cuz this is my fairytale now.

So I won't condemn you, you've got to leave this to me.
Curse the new fixation where it's getting hard to control myself.
I can see stars where I thought I'd see mountains,
There's so much of this world we've yet to see.

I'm losing myself in this fantasy.

Astonishing, you never really fail to amaze me.
Regrettably, I never got to give you a piece of my mind.
Looking back, I never should've looked in the first place.
But we'll meet again for time goes two ways.

I've got to erupt with this confidence, it's all I have.
But at last we are parting ways, and I'm closing the book on you.
This time it's a different feeling because we'd been caught in the motions.

I'm losing myself in my promises.

I'm self-medicated, premeditated but I crack under pressure when I start thinking of you.
I can't say I hate it, but I'm devastated, I still crack under pressure when I see blue in the sky.
I'll be elated when I've finally made it so the pressure means nothing and I can finally breathe.

I'm convinced you're holding out on me.

The sky's gone black to match the world.
I'm leaving this all behind now.
Amidst all the memories & bitter feelings
Oh, the tides keep crashing...and so will I.

But I can't let you go.

I'm self-medicated, premeditated but I crack under pressure when I start thinking of you.
I can't say I hate it, but I'm devastated, I still crack under pressure when I see blue in the sky.
I'll be elated when I've finally made it so the pressure means nothing and I can finally breathe.
I'll never say it, but I fucking hate it.
It's about time to bury this dieing dream.

And I will let you go.
I am letting go.
