Castle Lyrics by Ashe
Look at me now in my castle made of glass
Your hands are just like hammers, every touch another crack
Swing them any harder, watch my sparkling house collapse
I know I said I wanted this, but now I’ve come to see
That I gave you way too much of me
You locked me up and hid the key
Now I’m taking myself back, even if I let everyone down
I don’t stand a chance here
Finally, I’m saving myself
Oh, you call it unrequited, while you stab me in the back
This must be love, ’cause you decided it
But my blood is on your hands, it’s spilling all over the rug
You act surprised to see me lay here
Tell me I’ve got to clean this up
You think the time is gonna heal this
Really time is gonna heal this?
No. Your time is up
Now I’m taking myself back, even if I let everyone down
I don’t stand a chance here
Finally, I’m saving myself
Call her a “survivor” or a “victim”
Oh where’d they get the nerve?
Keep using black-and-white on colored pages to paint the one who’s gotten hurt
But would you look at both her wings
Is she an angel or a demon?
Somebody, better call the priest
Grab your pitchforks and your torches
Start the fires, grab the horses
Let’s all slay her like a beast
Go ahead and try to get me
Now I’m taking myself back, even if I let everyone down
I don’t stand a chance here
Finally, I’m saving myself
Look at me now in my castle made of glass
