Fairytales Sandcastles Lyrics

He says he looks in the mirror
And he can't tell anymore
Who he really is
and who they believe him to be
And he says he walks a thin line
Between
what is and what could be
And he's getting closer
To something he can
understand

Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne
of ice is melting
He climbed his ladder
There was nothing there
And
now it's a long way down
It's a long way down

(Chorus)
On and on
and on he goes dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive
On
and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
And castles made
of sand

He says his head is filled with
Cartoons and fairy
tails
And he's trapped inside a dungeon of dolls
With smiles on their
faces
He's built a pretty cage
His shows on a beautiful stage
With
candy coated prison bars
And chains that look like jewelry

Cause
there's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne of ice is melting
He
climbed his ladder
There was nothing there
And now it's a long way
down

(Repeat chorus)
On and on and on and on he goes on and on
On
and on and on and on he goes on and on

Cause he lives inside
Of fairy
tails and castles now
And there's room inside
For false expectations and
illusions

Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne
of ice is melting
He climbed his ladder
There was nothing there
And
now it's a long way down
It's a long way down

(Repeat chorus 2
times)
On and on and on and on he goes on and on
On and on and on and on
he goes on and on
On and on and on and on he goes on and on
