I hope you like it It's probably the most personal song for me out of everything I've released so far. I've started making it several years ago after a certain incident occurred, which greatly unsettled me and made me feel very very anxious while I sat there in silence analyzing what the hell just happened. It's a song about something i've witnessed that made me rethink the way I perceive the relationship of certain someone very close to me, and about how I would describe it if I were to walk in their shoes. Lyrics: I splashed some water on my face But felt nothing... With the heart loudly beating, To a washbasin I cling. The understanding Can't come to my head. I'm so sick of it, My eyes completely red. How could this happen to me? God, send me a way. Those tender lies of yours, Like sugar in my tea, Disolve in my blood, Make it fatally sweet. But they are still there, Even if you don't see. You'll see. Why did we start? After all, we knew Our relationship was all doomed From the start. What do we do? Like before, we'll do What we're used to We'd build sandcastles, Castles upon sand. They'd fall down, crumbling, But we would still hold them back. And tides would come and go To make the pieces drift away. Yet, still, we would not yield, Bottling up and feelin scorn, Disowning our feelings. We've been pretending we are fine, We are alright. The things now done were a far cry From what was inside. Tell me, why don't you go? Why would you still lie to me? Down the drain it goes. Our dead reality kills me... Somehow, I'm locked inside. Are you happy now with this sight? I wish you'd go, I just can't take it anymore... We'd build sandcastles, Castles upon sand. They'd fall down, crumbling, But we would still hold them back. And tides would come and go To make the pieces drift away. Yet, still, we would not yield, Bottling up and feeling scorn, Disowning our feelings. Oh, could it be the end of 'Us'? Oh, if we could, we would discuss... Remember... When we would think the castles were havens set in stone? And now that the affinity's all gone, All we can do is groan. We fall out every time, But we're washed up at the same shores anew Curled up, we keep delving, Keep on pretending we're still sane, And wishing it was true. "We'd build sandcastles...." "We'd fall down, crumbling...." "We would try harder....." "We'd build sandcastles...."
