lyrics
Castles will turn to dust
No matter how true the stone
Stars will burn themselves out
No matter how brilliant the glow
But you can’t keep writing fiction
When your wit can’t charm
And our ruby honeymoon
Is all but gone
Kings will sit on their throne
No matter how heavy the crown
Killers aren’t made to atone
Until the bodies are found
But you can’t claiming humor
When the jokes go too far
And our ruby honeymoon
Is all but gone
Nothing is really true
If nothing is ever a lie
How can it mean anything
Without the chance it could die
But you can’t claiming humor
When the jokes go too far
And the timing of the punchline
Brings nervous laughter
You can’t keep writing fiction
When your wit can’t charm
And our ruby honeymoon
Is all but gone
No matter how true the stone
Stars will burn themselves out
No matter how brilliant the glow
But you can’t keep writing fiction
When your wit can’t charm
And our ruby honeymoon
Is all but gone
Kings will sit on their throne
No matter how heavy the crown
Killers aren’t made to atone
Until the bodies are found
But you can’t claiming humor
When the jokes go too far
And our ruby honeymoon
Is all but gone
Nothing is really true
If nothing is ever a lie
How can it mean anything
Without the chance it could die
But you can’t claiming humor
When the jokes go too far
And the timing of the punchline
Brings nervous laughter
You can’t keep writing fiction
When your wit can’t charm
And our ruby honeymoon
Is all but gone
