Lifehouse - Mudpie Lyrics

Nothing but a mud pie
Wrapped up inside with a pretty bow
Nothing but a castle
Built on top of strong but quicksand

And inside these cardboard walls
And saran wrap windows
Lies a rusty pot of fool's gold
That you got with your life

Are you tired on loyalty?
(Blah blah)
Are you tired self to act like royalty?
Until the day you became the prey
As you tripped over your red carpet

You wash your hair in that Luca oil
Then you wrap your head up in tin foil
Prance around in your bathroom
Pretending you're a king

Just spin me home
Sinking faster now

Well, you can follow your rainbows
And I will follow the sun now
Wherever he goes, it's not too far to run
So I will follow the sun, follow the sun

Nothing but a calendar hanging on your wall
That's 23 years old
Nothing but a 'For sale' sign on a house
That's already sold

Trying to chew through that
Chocolate covered barbed wire
'Cause there's a mountain of beautiful filth
Waiting for you on the other side

Just spin me home
Sinking faster now

Clever lines end up rusty and forgotten
Brilliant minds end up with Alzheimer's
What I thought was so deep ended up so hollow
And what I thought had meaning, ended up so shallow
