Castles Lyrics by The Devil Makes Three

Chains Are Broken

2018

How many times are you gonna let your heart be broken?
(How long, now?)
How many times are you gonna watch good love die?
(How long?)
How many words do you think that you can leave unspoken?
(How long, now?)
How many trips before you see the other side?
(How long?)

They say they love you, they understand
Why can't you see that they don't give a damn?
We are the ocean
Castles made of sand
We are the ocean
Castles made of sand

How many clouds before you see the rain is falling?
(How long, now?)
How many storms before you know the sun is gone?
(How long?)
How many drops of water does it take to make a river?
(How long, now?)
How many notes before we sing a different song?
(How long?)

They say they love you, they understand
Why can't you see that they don't give a damn?
We are the ocean
Castles made of sand
We are the ocean
Castles made of sand

There's nothin' stronger, forcin' movin' water
Cuts through cold stone like a knife through butter
That's how it is now, and only gettin' larger
The way this thing goes, is in the hands of sons and daughters

They say they love you, they understand
Why can't you see that they don't give a damn?
We are the ocean
Castles made of sand
We are the ocean
Castles made of sand
We are the ocean
Castles made of sand
