Castles Burning Lyrics - Nine Days

The nickels you pick up 

On the long dirty road 

On your way to that castle in your mind 

Won't carry much weight 

When the voice in your soul 

Becomes louder then you 

What if the castle is burning 

When you finally get it in sight 

Listen to the voices that matter 

Don't tell me you've written of yesterday's dreams 

Bloodsuckers, liars and thieves 

For a paperback novel 

Can show you the page 

But it'll never get naked 

I might as well burn all your letters 

I might as well cut off your fingers 

Listen to the voices that matter 

Your friends in the rain 

Been placed in the cage 

Awaiting your prostitute smile 

You think you'd be able 

To scrape off your labels 

In a year 

You've said that before 

They'll tell you it's too late to change 

They'll promise you things look better 

Listen to the voices that matter 

For the nickels you pick up 

On the long dirty road 

On your way to that castle in your mind 

Won't carry much weight 

When the voice in your soul 

Becomes louder then you 

What if the castle is burning 

When you finally get it in sight 

I might as well burn all your letters 

I might as well cut off your fingers 

Listen to the voices that matter
