Castles

Can I hold tight my peace of mind As the years wear down my skin? Is that too much to ask for I promise I'll take care of it Cause I've come to notice it's value Priceless as a lovers hands So I'll keep it under coloured hair Make sure I don't lose a single strand But when the clock starts changing my face Minutes etching in new lines Will I still see potential castles in the sand Watercolours in the sky? Will I still find the will to fight If I'm left breathing alone Can I keep my sanity cradled between the teeth of things unknown? Cause I've watched misfortune take over a broken mind Seen it stitch a bitter tongue And I can't help but live in fear Thinking that's how I'll become And when the clock takes my beauty away Minutes etching in new lines Will I still see potential castles in the sand Watercolours in the sky When the clock starts changing my face Minutes etching in new lines Will I still see potential castles in the sand Watercolours in the sky Will love keep me satisfied?
