Nishin – Sandcastles Lyrics

I splashed some water on my face
But felt nothing
With the heart loudly beating
To a washbasin I cling
The understanding
Can't come to my head
I'm so sick of it
My eyes completely red

How could this happen to me
God, send me a way
Those tender lies of yours
Like sugar in my tea
Dissolve in my blood
Make it fatally sweet
But they are still there
Even if you don't see
You'll see

Why did we start?
After all, we knew
Our relationship was all doomed
From the start
What do we do?
Like before, we'll do
What we're used to

We'd build sandcastles
Castles upon sand
They'd fall down, crumbling
But we would still hold them back
And tides would come and go
To make the pieces drift away
Yet, still, we would not yield
Bottling up and feeling scorn
Disowning our feelings

We've been pretending we are fine
We are alright
The things now done were a far cry
From what was inside
Tell me, why don't you go?
Why would you still lie to me?
Down the drain it goes
Our dead reality kills me

Somehow, I'm locked inside
Are you happy now with this sight?
I wish you'd go
I just can't take it anymore

We'd build sandcastles
Castles upon sand
They'd fall down, crumbling
But we would still hold them back
And tides would come and go
To make the pieces drift away
Yet, still, we would not yield
Bottling up and feeling scorn
Disowning our feelings

Oh, could it be the end of "Us"?
Oh, if we could, we would discuss

Remember when we would think the castles
Were havens set in stone?
And now that the affinity's all gone
All we can do is groan
We fall out every time
But we're washed up at the same shores anew
Curled up, we keep delving
Keep on pretending we're still sane
And wishing it was true

We'd build sandcastles
We'd fall down, crumbling
We would try harder
We'd build sandcastles
