Standard (EADGBE)

He says he looks in the mirror

And he can't tell anymore

Who he really is and who they believed him to be

 And he says he walks a thin line

Between what is and what could be

 and he's getting closer

 to something he can't understand

Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown

and his throne of ice is melting

He climbed his ladder

There was nothing there

Now it's a long way down

 Cause on and on and on he goes

 Dancing on the grave

 of what he thought was still alive (Hey)

 and on and on and on he goes

 Dancing in mansions made of twigs

 and castles made of sand

He says his head is filled up with

Cartoons and fairy tales

and he's trapped inside a dungeon of dolls

With smiles on their faces

He's built a pretty cage

His show's on a beautiful stage

With candy coated prison bars

and chains that look like jewelry

Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown

and his throne of ice is melting

He climbed his ladder

There was nothing there

Now it's a long way down

 Cause on and on and on he goes

 Dancing on the grave

 of what he thought was still alive (Hey)

 and on and on and on he goes

 Dancing in mansions made of twigs

 and castles made of sand

Cause he lives inside

 of fairy tales and castles now

and there's no room inside

 for false expectations and illusions

There's a crack in his plastic crown

and his throne of ice is melting

He climbed his ladder

There was nothing there

Now it's a long way down

It's along way down

 Cause on and on and on he goes

 Dancing on the grave

 of what he thought was still alive (Hey)

 and on and on and on he goes

 Dancing in mansions made of twigs

 and castles made of sand

 Cause on and on and on he goes

 Dancing on the grave

 of what he thought was still alive (Hey)

 and on and on and on he goes

 Dancing in mansions made of twigs

 and castles made of sand

 Cause on and on and on he goes

 Dancing on the grave

 (Cause on and on and on he goes) of what he thought was still alive (Hey)

 and on and on and on he goes

 Dancing in mansions made of twigs

 and castles made of sand
