Castle Down

Emilie Autumn

You can see that I swim

Through the sea of painful

You have watched as I pull

Myself from the floor

And you were there when I

Built my tower like pebbles in the rain

Trying to balance all that I had left

With what I didn't have anymore



CHORUS

But would you tear my castle down

Stone by stone

And let the wind run through my windows

'Til there is nothing left but a battered rose

Would you tear my castle down

Stone by stone

And let the wind run through my windows

'Til there is nothing left but a battered rose



You seem so devoted

Your love is unconditional

You were self-promoted

I never asked you

You were my everything

My apparitional faith

Where are you when I am screaming to my God

What am I coming to



CHORUS



If I had another place to go

Would you break me, is it that you know

I have no choice but to rebuild again

I'm tied so hard I can't remember when

I last walked free upon these feet of mine

But I'll draw the line

There will come a Time

When I am stronger

Your words won't hurt any longer



CHORUS



'Til there is nothing nothing left

'Til there is nothing nothing left

'Til there is nothing left

Will you tear my castle down

Will you tear my castle down

Will you tear my castle down
