Playing in Your Mind

The fog had cleared sufficiently
The paper boats set loose to sail on the stormy seas
You'd sit there, talking to me
I could tell you saw right through me
There wasn't much you couldn't see
And in the dark, we'd be alright
You'd sing a song that kept me going through the night
The years get colder
And our bodies just keep growing older
Someday we'll all give up the fight

But now you're wandering throughout the pastures
Looking back at our disasters
Burning your dust to pass the time
What if all these melodies, as fairytale as it may seem
Were always playing in your mind?
Yeah, I said I would be alright

But in the morning, we'll watch the walls fall down
Somebody's calling for us to stand our ground
Because the Empire's built on hollow land
I've found a patch of sand
For our last stand, so take me by the hand

Try to stay calm, try not to choke
We'll sing along and watch the sun rise through the smoke
We'll beat the drum and shout
And we will never think about
Promises and windows that we broke

But now you're wandering throughout the pastures
Looking back at our disasters
Burning your dust to pass the time
What if all these melodies, as fairytale as it may seem
Were always playing in your mind?
Yeah, I said I would be alright

But in the morning, we'll watch the walls fall down
Somebody's calling for us to stand our ground
Because the Empire's built on hollow land
I've found a patch of sand
For our last stand, so take me by the hand
And we'll watch the walls fall down
Somebody's calling for us to stand our ground
Because the Empire's built on hollow land
I've found a patch of sand
For our last stand, so take me by the hand
