Verse 1
Living in a high castle, above the fear and noise
Stone walls around my heart, I buried broken joys
Windows made of silence, crowns made out of pride
I tell the world I’m strong enough, but truth is I just hide
Pre-Chorus
Every bridge I burned still lights the night below
I watch the flames and wonder why I never let you close
Chorus
I’m living in a high castle, touching clouds alone
Kings don’t cry in daylight, queens don’t call back home
I’m safe behind these towers, but freedom has a cost
I built this high castle, but I’m scared of what I lost
Verse 2
Marble floors of memories, footsteps from the past
I hear your voice in empty halls, echoes that still last
I traded love for armor, traded trust for stone
Now every victory I win, I win it on my own
Pre-Chorus
I see your shadow at the gate, you’re waiting in the rain
One word could bring the walls down, but silence feels the same
Chorus
I’m living in a high castle, touching clouds alone
Kings don’t cry in daylight, queens don’t call back home
I’m safe behind these towers, but freedom has a cost
I built this high castle, but I’m scared of what I lost
Bridge
If I lower all the drawbridges, if I let the daylight in
Would you still recognize me without my walls and skin?
I don’t need another kingdom, I don’t need a throne
I just need one brave moment to not stand here alone
Final Chorus
I was living in a high castle, mistaking height for peace
Thought love was just a weakness I was better off to leave
Now I’m breaking down these towers, stone by stone I fall
Maybe love is not the danger, maybe fear built all these walls
Outro
No more living in a high castle…
I’m coming down.
