day 14 of inktober: CASTLE

Song Title: Your Castle

disclaimer: Vocals were a bit rushed, so they are far from perfect. I plan on redoing all vocals and re-mastering all the songs at the end of the month.

lyrics:

Confined between walls in the dark

Yet to give the world my mark

There's changes around me, I don't see

In these walls, maybe it's me?

But you tell me that I need to know

What's troubling you, is it so?

I cannot help you and I'm not sure

This feeling is jarring and you're not the cure!

Sunshine's there

But beware

We don't leave

Your castle!

I'll sit here

Try to steer

My life out of

Your castle!

Keep me caged

It's not fair

Keep me caged

In your castle!

Trapped inside

In your mind

Let me go from

Your castle!

Adjustments started being made

In your castle, it's your way

Now it feels like there's less than before

But you insist on changing more

Soon there will be nothing left

And it will cause others much distress

Nerving times for those inside

The castle you've built in these times.

Spot of paint

It is quaint

New to old in

Your castle!

Up the stairs

Walk with care!

Fragile things in

Your castle!

Keep me caged

It's not fair

Keep me caged

In your castle!

Big space, glee

But no need

It's too much in

Your castle!

And so I'll stay stuck in these walls

I've taken one too many falls

With your burdens, with your face

We'll both stay put, I'll give you space

I have no retreat, but neither do you

This castle of yours is all you do

A punishment that fits your kind?

If only we could go back in time!

In this square

I don't care

How you treat

Your castle!

I'll make plans

In my hands

Life away from

Your castle!

Keep me caged

You can try

Keep me caged

In your castle

But I long

For a prolonged

Break from you and

Your castle!

Money's made

So I'll fade

Away and build

My castle!

Freedom's mine

Will feel fine

To have new walls

My castle!

Keep me here

Don't hold me there

Keep me here

In my castle

You hate me

But you see

I'd rather be (in)

My castle!
