Cardboard Castles Lyrics - Cardboard Castles - Watsky

Out on the curb again 

On the curb again 

I've come to learn it's hard and firm 

Out on the curb again 

I'm in my room making cardboard castles 

With shoestring rope 

Soup spoon drawbridge 

Tinfoil moat 

I'm still dreaming after all these years

Because if we don't build it who will? 

I do things on a shoestring that you couldn't do for a cool mil 

I run with no laces, and when I fall I start 

To build my Taj Mahal with shit I found at Dollarmart 

This life's our greatest project 

The journey's all an art 

But I built my perfect nest, and it's 'bout to fall apart 

Again and again and then I just I make it twice as high 

And I give my tower teeth, and I watch it bite the sky 

Because I might just cry if I don't keep it moving 

I focus on what I can make and not what just got ruined 

'Cause every stone will crumble down to dust, to dust, to dust 

And I say love thy neighbor, and I say fuck thy hater 

There's nothing I can't solve with duct tape and construction paper 

I don't want a Band-Aid, I'll only rip it off, I'll rip it off 

Photos 

I know someday I'll pass, and maybe then rest 

I'm laying on my back 

Heaven's my bench press 

'Cause my imagination is crazy as Glenn Beck 

A cloud is floating by in the shape of a rent check 

And when the world ends, that's what I'll plan towards 

Then I'll trust girlfriends and maybe landlords 

Cause I been played but I'm looking for more 

I say, what would I gain if I took it to court 

'Cause if people were perfect then there wouldn't be war 

We stay pushing but once we get a foot in the door 

We get our toes chopped off and a foot of manure 

I still gotta believe people 

Are good at the core 

'Cause if we weren't, what's at stake? 

Why would we stay to break what we make 

And create all these beautiful mistakes 

When they blow our house down let's draw on the walls, the walls, the walls
