lyrics

My conscience dances around the room like
Bats embracing their final doom
They seek to demystify you
Til your eyes turn a shade of blue

But your hands are in tune with my fear
They play melodies no one else can hear
They shake new rhythms into my soul
Move me to offer you all control

I know I need the solid ground
But I can't resist the sound of a distant life that is unplanned
I'll find the will to find the way but while I delay
I'll be building palaces on the sand
Palaces on the sand
Palaces with these hands

Time moves quickly
It pays no heed to my plea
I want to build forests but can't plant trees
When I'm struck by lightning branches I'll still stand
And no one will thwart my unwritten plans

I know I need the solid ground
But I can't resist the sound of a distant life that is unplanned
I'll find the will to find the way but while I delay
I'll be building palaces on the sand
Palaces on the sand
Palaces with these hands
