Currents and Castles


You have a castle for a mind and those flags They don't bear enough welcome Put your drawbridge down We won't all hurt you how some have Call off the guards and stone walls A strong defense only hides the most golden of us all If your worth were so small Why hide behind weapons and shields Within yourself are ruins and treasures The broken pieces will come together Making you better than you were from the war before Your burdens are weights Waiting to be broken, not bound Lift your arms and come away from those scars We can't always swim through oceans in storms But if you're sinking you'll try You were built for this struggle With enough bones to hold you up Currents will come but so will knights Fight for the nights we spent inside Roaming the walls of our castles, our minds
