There’s a devil lurking in second city and i can hear it

say my name and the most horrible things that he’s been whispering

in my ear all the time as i’m pretending not to hear

“jump the rail of life boy, i know one day you gon’ be big, kid”

but honestly there’s one thing that’s been weighing me down

i’ve known it’s in my heart, and has been at least for a while

this mix of feelings between loving and hating

a woman that had fucked me up yet i find myself missing

and i remember i had this dream, back when i was just a lil boy

now i found the girl that he could only ever dream of

it’s sad to see how fast can romance crumble and fall

and now my dream came true, and everything’s worse now

it sounds bitter ain’t it, but still true, ain’t it?

the only time i am myself that’s when i’m creating

that’s why i’m locked up in the studio, that’s dedication

Music is the only place that i can come and say this

now my mind’s made up, I’ll move on

i’ll burn your shit until i can’t feel your presence no more

i’m going solo now, i’m going solanin

i’ll reach as far as i can reach and find myself a new dream yeah

why can i only ever see the castle from afar?

i’m sick of thinking that i’d never get to reach that place

i’ll keep piling them all up, make a bridge of broken hearts

and i know i’ll take that castle for my own one day

why can i only ever see the castle from afar?

i’m sick of thinking that i’d never get to reach that place

i’ll keep piling them all up, make a bridge of broken hearts

and i know i’ll take that castle for my own one day

this i will
