[Verse 1]
I have all my things away
In here, with me
I can get them when I need
But not today
What's the use in trying to stay
Inside the seams
Where you stitched your hopes and dreams
Back in the day
[Chorus]
There are some who will always let you down
There are people who will chain your feet to the ground
White picket castles were built to fall down
[Post-Chorus]
This old sunken vessel is where I sleep
It's not worth a nickel but it pays my keep
Where's your white picket castle but where you seat yourself now?
[Verse 2]
Walk until my knees get weak
My eyes, they stare
Sunken, tangled in my hair
They comb the street
Spare a piece of something deep
For me to share
If it's something I can wear
It's yours to keep
[Pre-Chorus]
There are some who will always let you down
There are people who will chain your feet to the ground
White picket castles were built to fall down
[Post-Chorus]
This old sunken vessel is where I sleep
It's not worth a nickel but it pays my keep
Where's your white picket castle but where you seat yourself now?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
This old sunken vessel is where I sleep
It's not worth a nickel but it pays my keep
Oh, where's your white picket castle but where you seat yourself now?
