lyrics

Feel like a bit part in a play directed by a fool,
feel like a workman always blaming me like I'm some tool,
feel like a manual written backward in a tongue I don't know,
I'm sure it's telling me what to do and not just where to go.
But all that can be done, i'll build a castle for one
 
Every time I feel that I'm alright I'm still half wrong
Confusion mixing with delusion in some once loved song
Every answer brings a question, every question brings a friend
Over and over in a night that never wants to end
All that can be done, I'll build a castle for one
 
And I'll stick it on an island in the sea of tranquility & watch the world spin far away from me
I'll visit anytime I feel that I can stomach that much real & then I'll pull the drawbridge up on me & my castle in the sea.
 
Every time I want to scream I'm stuck in lower case
and every turn on every journey leads to inner space
Can I just be the only me I think it's better that way
and then i'll fight to live to live to fight another day
But all that can be done is, i'll build a castle for one

And I'll stick it on an island in the sea of tranquility & watch the world spin far away from me
I'll visit anytime I feel that I can stomach that much real & then I'll pull the drawbridge up on me & my castle in the sea.

I'm with the dolphins, so long & thanks for all the fish
I'm sick & tired of all the pish of trying to fit in.
but everyone that knows me, they know that i'll get lonely so I'll try to take a friend
All I can do, is build a castle for me & you

And I'll stick it on an island in the sea of tranquility & watch the world spin far away from me
We can visit anytime we feel that we can stomach that much real & then I'll pull the drawbridge up on me
I'll stick it on an island in the sea of tranquility & watch the world spin far away from me
I'll can visit anytime I feel that I can stomach that much real & then I'll pull the drawbridge up on me & my castle in the sea.
My castle in the sea
My castle in the sea
