Fairy Tales And Castles

He says, he looks in the mirror, 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

He's getting closer to something he can't 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

'Cause 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 tales

And he's trapped inside a dungeon of dolls

With smiles on their faces

He's built a pretty cage

Hit shows on a beautiful stage

With candy coated prison bars

And chains that look like jeweler y

'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

'Cause 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

'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

'Cause 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

'Cause 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

'Cause 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
