A castle (from Latin castellum) is a type of fortified structure built in Europe and the Middle East during the Middle Ages by European nobility. Scholars debate the scope of the word castle, but usually consider it to be the private fortified residence of a lord or noble. This is distinct from a palace, which is not fortified; from a fortress, which was not always a residence for nobility; and from a fortified settlement, which was a public defence – though there are many similarities among these types of construction. Usage of the term has varied over time and has been applied to structures as diverse as hill forts and country houses. Over the approximately 900 years that castles were built they took on a great many forms with many different features, although some, such as curtain walls and arrowslits, were commonplace.
A European innovation, castles originated in the 9th and 10th centuries, after the fall of the Carolingian Empire resulted in its territory being divided among individual lords and princes. These nobles built castles to control the area immediately surrounding them, and were both offensive and defensive structures; they provided a base from which raids could be launched as well as protection from enemies. Although their military origins are often emphasised in castle studies, the structures also served as centres of administration and symbols of power. Urban castles were used to control the local populace and important travel routes, and rural castles were often situated near features that were integral to life in the community, such as mills and fertile land.

So you wait for those stars to align,
Do you take that,
I won't take that,
Blood and the lust and the moon drive me wild
Dear I've earned that,
You can't just have that
Cause there are fires in this heart lit for miles
When does this all get better,
Baby, I was born clever
Still I have a dead head in my hands
As I cry through the tremors
To believe this gets better.
No, no, no!
I don't want to write sad songs,
There's something better
Where's the sun, here it comes
Here it comes.
If you plan to leave by the door
Forget her
Is it done, is it done?
Keep me.
They will march to the beat of my drum
Lover's bite them,
Coward's need that
So I trace all the lines in this poem
Born with small hearts;
Love won't fix that.
Cause there are fires in this heart lit for miles
When does all this get better,
Baby, I was born clever
Still I have a dead head in my hands
As I cried through the tremors
To believe this gets better.
No, no, no!
I don't want to write sad songs,
There's something better
Where's the sun, here it comes
Here it comes.
If you plan to leave behind the door
Forget her
Is it done, is it done,
Are you done.
Oh, I have a dead head in my hands
When does all this get better?
Baby, I was born clever.
Cause there are fires in this heart lit for miles,
And I'll laugh through the tremors,
And believe this gets better.
No, no, no!
I don't want to write sad songs,
There's something better
Where's the sun, here it comes
Here it comes.
If you plan to leave behind the door
Forget her
Is it done, are you done,
Is it done?
I don't want to write sad songs,
There's something better
Where's the sun, here it comes
Here it comes.
If you plan to leave by the door
Forget her
I was so scared
You were what I feared
And though I never dared
With you I somehow did
I was alone
I was alone
You saw me there
Lying naked on the floor again
Thinking of her
How it was with her back then
I know
Now I know
What I found
Was a castle on the cloud
Chorus:
Cause you took me there
And lay me on a broken bed
No air
And there
Were cobwebs
Falling in my hair
I swear
I would have died for you
But you left me there
Then all the memories
Came crashing down
The insecurities
By which you're bound
But still
I would have died for you
I would have died for you
Verse 2:
You didn't know
It was so long ago
I never let go
You were a mine-field
But you were all mine
I thought you were mine
Then you were there
Filling up my eyes again
Knew I shouldn't care
Your beauty made me blind again
I tried
You were the finest fit I could find
Guess what I'd found
Was a castle on a cloud
Chorus:
Cause you took me there
And lay me on a broken bed
No air
And there
Were cobwebs
Falling in my hair
I swear
I would have died for you
But you left me there
Then all the memories
Came crashing down
The insecurities
By which you're bound
But still
I would have died for you
I would have died for you
Bridge:
Nothing's going to change
The way I feel about you now
Nothing's going to change
The way I feel about you now
Nothing's going to change
Anything
(Couldn't stop it if I tried)
But I want you to know
I know what went down
And did you even care?
Cause you lay me down
In a castle on a cloud
Chorus: X2
Cause you took me there
And lay me on a broken bed
No air
And there
Were cobwebs
Falling in my hair
I swear
I would have died for you
But you left me there
Then all the memories
Came crashing down
The insecurities
By which you're bound
But still
We're getting older
one day we'll learn to say goodbye
and let time fly
to live like a lullaby
and just wasting time
there's nothing on my mind
and tear your castles down
they fall without a sound
so tear your castles down
do you remember the day when i caught you smiling
like a little girl
alone in a funny room
and at the time you were always on my mind
and tear your castles down
they fall without a sound
so tear your castles down
and tear your castles down
they fall without a sound
Castles that you're building
Eventually come falling down
I will try to erase it all
From my mind, it's easy
People who you talk about
Eventually will find you out
People who you talk about
Eventually will hunt you down
I will try to erase it all
My life like a room, under the clouds, a place with no
hope,
I'm dreaming again
A place to lay my head, a place to sing regret
Our life like a room, under the clouds, a place with no
hope,
We're dreaming again
A place to lay our head, your heart so picturesque
Do you feel burden when you think of all the ways I've
acted wrong?
Would it help or heal if I said I'm sorry? I'm so
sorry.
I struggle to see past my own imperfections
So I seek remedies through broken hands and foreign
lands
We've been chasing phantom clocks
They will not attack us
We know we can't buy optimism
Conviction had us by the hand…
This is disaster unfolding before our lives
How can we end this disaster if we don't try?
Concrete just isn't a friend upon collapsing
It's that kind of expectation that keeps you looking
forward
What I thought was real turned out to be paper-mache
I'm such a terrible disgrace, I'm such a terrible
disgrace
There's no point in stealing the lights
There's no point in stealing your life
There used to be control in these hands and now it's
all relentlessness
This is disaster unfolding before our lives
How can we end this disaster if we don't try?
I haven't wrote you in days, but I'm writing you...
I'm writing you away!
You're gonna miss me one day
I'm sorry I cannot stay
You're gonna miss me one day
I'm just skimming stones against the lake
While my dreams pass me by
I've never known what to make of life
But I guess I'm willing to try
Sometimes it's better sometimes it's worse
Sometimes it heals sometimes it hurts....
So hail to the morning wherever it dawns down on me
It's now that I get to thinking
Some castles lie way beneath the sea.
You always said that it would be such a long summer
And now its here and I can break the ice on this cold water
Sometimes it's better sometimes it's worse
Sometimes it heals sometimes it hurts....
So hail to the morning wherever it dawns down on me
It's now that I get to thinking
Some castles lie way beneath the sea.
So hail to the morning wherever it dawns down on me
It's now that I get to thinking that life's a mystery
So long live the moonlight wherever it shines down on me
With the strength to part the ocean
Ain't gonna tell no stories, I ain't gonna tell no lies
To simplify things I just feel alright
I once was my own worst enemy
But now I learned to set myself and my enemies free
I'm gonna celebrate the castles coming down around me
The walls are at my feet
Hop on the side G and jump into the scene around me
Been to the east and out to the west
Down to the river been cursed and blessed
Now if there's trouble ahead, just face the music and dance 'cause
Distance is nothing from the first step to the last
Baby, don't asking not asking much
I just want you to show what you got
Let it go somewhat
Some people try to fool you, do all kinds of things to you
That don't represent my school which says
Put yourself in my shoes, I'll be in yours
How you like me now, how you like my chords
hello it's been so long since we got along
it seems like everybody looks our way
so what's it gonna be? do you still love me?
the answer's around but it so hard to find.
if i had the book we could take a look
and try to find a way
but it's harder than it looks, it doesn't come in books
just empty hearts and castles made of sand
that wash away. wash me away from you
just a second. what went wrong? did i stay too long?
it seems that everything i do i regret
well is it you or is it me? should we just set ourselves free?
never look back and stay a step behind
well yesterday was yesterday and tomorrow is another day
to question all the things we left behind
I'm free to go.
There's no more need to stay.
Throw away the works of years
And return to Adam's way.
Retreat from shadow
To dabble baths and sun bleached joys.
Live it out on an island in the mind
Untouched by human flaws.
I'm free to go.
There's nothing in my way.
Up above the rainbow's end
The gold all melts away.
Return a hero
From distant lands of fight and fire.
Escape into the piece in my mind
And climbing higher and higher.
I nearly made it that time.
I nearly got away.
I nearly made it that time,
But I always have to stay.
I'm throwing out my tickets
To the outside world.
Lost interest in a drama
Which is destined to unfold.
I'm heading out for the shores
Of a friendly land.
Where every grain of sand
Reaches out to shake me
By the hand.
I nearly made it that time.
I nearly got away.
I nearly made it that time,
But I always have to stay.
I nearly made it that time.
I nearly got away.
I nearly made it that time,
But I always have to stay.
I nearly made it that time.
I nearly got away.
I nearly made it that time,
But I always have to stay.
(Intro)
Some things need to be said
So when I step
I'll only say this one time
Just once
Just listen
Check this!
(Verse)
My castles started shrinking, something's gotta give,
Ended up being the smallest place that I had ever lived
One of the reasons I would do away would fame to say the least
Don't know who this people love, their names aren't on the list
It's a different type of monster, entertainment is a beast,
Were supposed to eat together, then I became the main feast,
If you're prayin on my kindness, taking advantage and Joe school
I'd have to ask what's your definition of soul food?
I bust my ass for my whole life and I worked hard for my profit
And envy I know cuts like a knife so you probably work hard to stop it
If you know me like you claim then how can you disregard my logic?
You know I cut my arms short and put my heart in my pocket
A pretty good judge of character, maybe I mistaked a few
Cut some people off but had no choices, what they made me do
Why would you take advantage when it's something I'da gave to you
And in the long run, it doesn't take from me, it takes from you
You'll probably tell me I'm a fucked up nigga
You got it wrong, I just wanna be fucked up with ya
Which forces me to get distant and I never wanna act away with you
But passion and desire never blends with lacks of days ago
No longer enable you, that's no longer favour you
But pride is on your sleeve so you'll just act like nothing phases you
Which can never equal good in fact
So love can be lost, I know exactly where I put it at
(Interlude)
Word!
Have no problem with nobody though
So have no problem with me
Figure
It's no beef, no malice
I got no vendetta with yall
So I only want better for myself
Might even want better for yall
(Verse)
My castle started shrinking, I tried my best to fight it
Don't know how it happened, don't know how they got invited
What's good with cabin fever and maybe they'll help create the space
Fluck your good intentions, more concerned with what's taking place
But everyone feels entitled, made up they mind, they got a right to
My peers transforming right before my eyes into my rivals
Like I had a car, you can have the clothes
Take all that shit that I don't love
I'm learning fast that recognition is its own drug
And what's worse than some of your actions being feminine
Is I got no way of knowing if your moves are really genuine
You there when it's bright, better be there when it's dark
You wasn't here for the ride, don't be there when I park
Figure I love niggas enough to let the world come and stay with me
And I'll stay trapped in this room to keep yall away from me
What's supposed to happen when I'm not hot anymore
Would yall rely on me being crazy, but what if I'm not anymore
The funny shit, and molies were cool when we all were doing em
But nobody recalled when I was the only one you were ruinin
I learned a long time ago in life that not much is fair
So no love loss, but not much is there
Déjà vu, this happened rapidly before
Every day's a constant struggle when you're a casualty of war
Which could only equal good in fact
Everything I've ever said
Everything that I have done
Tryna show her, waste my time
Building mansions in my mind
Now that's all so yesterday
I'm just lighting my fire
Tell the world i'm sick, goodbye
We go on just the same
With or without the same name
With scattered brains and tattered souls
Just wait just wait
Burn down this statue
We pay cash for petty dreams
You can't duplicate, copy and paste, you can't duplicate
Burn down these castles
Wash our hands in the flames
We can't forget the dust
We came cause it built us
We dance as it smolders
Weight builds on our shoulders
Paint with your own blood instead
Burn down this statue
We pay cash for petty dreams
You can't duplicate, copy and paste, you can't duplicate
Burn down these castles
Wash our hands in the flames
I'm counting sheep whilst you sleep,
That's how late nights take effect, on me.
And I'm treading egg shells can't you tell,
I'm tryin'a be friends in my own worst hell
And I'm makin' wishes every day,
These four walls of life will not follow to the grave
And I'm counting sheep whilst you sleep,
That's how late nights take effect, on me.
I've built you so many things,
I've told you much more than you need to know,
Than you need to know,
I've built you so many things,
I've told you much more than you need to know,
Than you need to know.
And I'm climbing teeth, all the time,
Somebody let loose too much anger in this skull of mine,
My eyes ran the square every day,
As the big black, television screen gets it's wicked, wicked ways,
I've built you so many things,
I've told you much more than you need to know,
Than you need to know, x2
I count sheep while you sleep,
And I chase tails in your dreams, x8
I built the castles to protect you
Yeaah I,
