from my poem 'house of crabs'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what some will say
You’ve crossed the line. Time out
You’re rejected from the game
You’re not coming back. So go hit the showers
Once cherished, baptized, and sublime
Asinine. Never enough iodine. Guilty
Now crowned in your sins
Stoned concubine. The shamed bovine
I built a castle by the sea
With towers tall and proud as me
The moat was deep, the gate was wide
And seashell flags stood side by side
But when the tide crept up at last
It bowed before my fortress fast
Then swept it down with foamy hand
My kingdom gone, returned to sand
You’re sweaty. You're filthy
You crossed the line. Go hit the showers
Submerged from the weight of the world
Drunk on the blood of the wine
End of the game. It's not even halftime
The filthy crime. The shamed headline
Once cherished, There's no room available
The game is over. You’re out. You've crossed the line
I built a castle by the sea
With towers tall and proud as me
The moat was deep, the gate was wide
And seashell flags stood side by side
But when the tide crept up at last
It bowed before my fortress fast
Then swept it down with foamy hand
My kingdom gone, returned to sand
Not worth a dime. Stole from the altar's wine
Combine, the fowl and swine wine and dine
Frankenstein shrine. You're out. Go resign
You’ve crossed the line. You’ve crossed the line
This is what some will say
I built a castle by the sea
With towers tall and proud as me
The moat was deep, the gate was wide
And seashell flags stood side by side
But when the tide crept up at last
It bowed before my fortress fast
Then swept it down with foamy hand
My kingdom gone, returned to sand
Yet still I smiled, and made a vow
I’ll build another, better now
For dreams, like castles by the sea
May fall but rise again with me
But when the tide crept up at last
It bowed before my fortress fast
Then swept it down with foamy hand
My kingdom gone
returned to sand
Yet still I smiled, and made a vow
I’ll build another, better now
For dreams, like castles by the sea
They crumbles now, but wait and see
I'll build again more faithfully
Oooooohhhhooooohh
I'll build again more faithfully
