In a Castle on a Cloud by Knight of Endale Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't know where to start
When did I become a part
Of a series of confusing tales
And why am I writing details?
And why am I left to roam?
Carrying a purple tome
Travellin' between worlds with ease
And now I'm surrounded by these
[Verse 2]
Stories, everywhere I look
People, each an open book
Each strange tale is something new
But something is familiar too
The faces of all I see
All of them reminding me
Of a place that I once called home
But now I'm hеre, I'm all alone
[Verse 3]
In a place that I'vе never been
A castle where the air is thin
Reflections of a different kind
Wanderin', all deaf and blind
And a voice writing to me
Saying now that I can breathe
And this is somewhere I can rest
But they won't answer my request
[Verse 4]
I'm calling, "Anybody there?"
I'm in a place that's bright and where
I don't know if I can get back
To the home I loved, gotta get on track
To find out what I'm meant to do
With these tales, both old and new
The mysteries found on my own
Could finally lead me to my home
[Chorus]
I gotta go home
I gotta go home
I cannot stay
In this reality
In a castle on a cloud
[Verse 5]
New dawn, open up my eyes
Timeline's in a new disguise
Friends whose name I've never heard
Is this the fourth time or the third?
Wanderin', tryin' to find the way
To get back to from whence I came
But every single way I go
Has got new tragedies to show
[Verse 6]
New day, new rules to learn
Who knows if I will ever return
To the homeland that I left behind
Before I up and lose my mind
New tale, gotta write it down
So I can share what I have found
Can't let these histories repeat
Won't let my tale end in defeat
[Verse 7]
But in this place, there's something wrong
I think I've felt it all along
Darkness hidden in the light
Death disguised by halls of white
And that voice, it speaks to me
Sayin' that I won't be free
Until my fate is in my hands
And I go into unknown land
[Verse 8]
I'm running, through marble halls
Sorting through the dueling calls
They said they'd never lie to me
But the roots are rotten on this tree
Racing, as my heart beats fast
I must outrun, I must outlast
Must escape this sick routine
Gotta leave the in between
[Chorus]
I gotta go home
I gotta go home
I cannot stay
In this reality
In a castle on a cloud
[Bridge]
I gotta go, I gotta get back to my home
The longer that I stay here is the longer that I roam
My memory is slowly slipping away
But all the tales that I've written are gonna guide my way back
I gotta go, I gotta get back to my home
The longer that I stay here is the longer that I roam
My memory is slowly slipping away
But all the tales that I've written are gonna guide my way back
[Chorus]
I gotta go home
I gotta go home
I cannot stay
In this reality
In a castle on a cloud
I don't know where to start
When did I become a part
Of a series of confusing tales
And why am I writing details?
And why am I left to roam?
Carrying a purple tome
Travellin' between worlds with ease
And now I'm surrounded by these
[Verse 2]
