Make childhood friends and drift apart
And then pretend it doesn't matter
Tie off that area of your heart
Don't worry, those memories will scatter...
Play the game and do your best
Force yourself to enjoy success
Do everything you can to forget the rest
Don't worry, the sea will clean the mess
Go to school and struggle for years
Start a job and build a career
Enjoy laughter, endure tears
Repeat on loop as long as you are here
Make the bed in the morning
Or start a family
The sea will wash away everything
Eventually
Realize every mark that you made
Every lyric you rhymed
Every song you sang
Will be lost to time
Why try? Why bother? Why waste your days
Fretting about your temporary stay?
Because you know for it to make sense at all
There must be something more at play
Did they build sandcastles in Atlantis?
Did they bother building sandcastles in Atlantis?
Tell me where we go from here
Nothing lasts forever
Watch your kids grow old as you did
Watch as their youth gives way to gray
Regret the time you didn't share
Remember that you wanted it that way
The guilt will disappear with time
As surely as your children's children will grow
They'll forget you too
As the sea will wash away everything we know
Spend your final days reflecting
On all the mistakes you made
Kick yourself for moments no one else recalls
Find respite in that those thoughts will fade
As you intake your final breaths
Laugh as you wonder
Did they build sandcastles in Atlantis?
While the blackness pulls you under
But I want to remember.
The good and the bad.
Matter and energy may change form but nothing is lost in the process.
The total amount of matter and energy, ultimately, persists in one form or another.
Everything changes
But nothing is lost
Memories remain
Engrained in the cosmos
We will build sandcastles
We will live past this world
