Sandcastles 2008

Half her mind is swallowing her eyes

Half her heart is eating her up

And she’s blinded

She’s just a bird who fled the nest like a runaway bride

Now, every grain of sand beneath her is crumbling like a landslide

She’s been building a life on the sand

Staying was never a part of the plan

But every time the house falls apart on the beach, she feels it

Rebuilds it

Ocean buoys are drowning out the noise

Heed thе waves - they’re no longеr your friends

She’s waiting for the right time

Treading water to stay afloat

She was a child not long ago

Goodness me! Doesn’t time fly?

She’s been building a life on the sand

Staying was never a part of the plan

But every time the house falls apart on the beach, she feels it

Rebuilds it

She’s been building a life on the sand

Staying was never a part of the plan

But every time the house falls apart on the beach, she feels it

Rebuilds it

She’s been building a life on the sand

Staying was never a part of the plan

But every time the house falls apart on the beach, she feels it

Rebuilds it
