Weathered

This is the castle that you've built
Falling in tune with a phrase of guilt
Keeping in rhythm with it always
Just sway to the beat of your heartache
This is the key to the door you closed
Bury yourself with the strain you hold
Keeping in time with an end of scene
The curtain will close as you die unseen

Confide to what captures you
Confide to what's seeping through
Confide to what captures you
Confide to what's seeping through

And how did it come to this?
You're gambling time with yourself
Watching it slip through your hands
Your legacy lost in the sand
And how did it come to this?
You're gambling time with yourself
Watching your life from the stage
Your legacy burned on the page

This is the light that burned out long
Long before you had a chance to become
A figure that echoes in melodies
A figure that burns in your memory
This is the line that you wrote in your will
Crippling poison allows you to wilt
Shuffling bones in the hallway
You're loosing yourself as you're falling

Confide to what captures you
Confide to what's seeping through
Confide to what captures you
Confide to what's seeping through

And how did it come to this?
You're gambling time with yourself
Watching it slip through your hands
Your legacy lost in the sand
And how did it come to this?
You're gambling time with yourself
Watching your life from the stage
Your legacy burned on the page

Crooked smiles
Half laughs running through my skin
And through my freckles
As the time passes
The glass hits my lips like the softest sweetest kiss
It's a bittersweet reminder of all the life I've left slip by here
I'll take it to bed if it keeps me warm
I'll swim till im dead and i'll swim no more
I'll see where it ends, and i'll see the shore
I'll see where it ends, and i'll swim no more
