Sandbox Lyrics

[Bridge]
Oh, where did the time go
Seems like only yesterday we were so young
With no worries sitting in the sandbox
We were bulding castles of rocks
Somewhere the innocence got lost
Wish we were sitting in that sandbox

[Verse 1]
Lane full of memories, walk on my avenue
We used to drive in the freedom, we used to not have rules
Now we lie just to keep up, fuck it, that's my attitude

That's what the scars and habit of having scars will do
Can't say we were broke cause we were rich in tradition
Hearts broken for first and second loves, cause we were persistent
Peer pressure in school, it made me learn to listen
To what's inside me, it got quiet we
Used to hear our own hearts beat
Band full of brothers, yeah, we used to all meet
None of us from broken homes, our family all keep together
No matter the weather in the living room
Went from flying kites to lying through life
We went from being bullies to being bullied
But how we go from riding three-weelers, like they were motorbikes
To stop dreaming and believing it happened over night
[Hook]
We used to imagine better things
Used to ride bikes like they had wings
Used to fly kites that would never fall

Having nothing was like having it all
Having nothing, nothing
Having nothing, nothing
Having nothing, nothing
Having nothing was like having it all

[Verse 2]
How come we always look back, hoping we could rewind?
Maybe we just need to get away, and indeed I'm
Trying to make the most of it
Remember I came from hopelessness
So I'm super focused when it's time to turn dreams into reality
Used to hate me for being different
Now they hate me for making my life change
That's ironic to see
We used to be care-free, in that sandbox making sand-castles
We never knew that we were have-nots
Cause we had each other, we had a vision that wasn't blurred

We were undeterred, free from this fucking world
We used to sit on that swing and imagine flying
I remember so I'll always know damn well who I am
We used to imagine and prophecy
Now all we foresee is how we wanna die
[Hook]
