Castles

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.
