Living in a high castle

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.
