Remember when we thought this was all impossible
We'd have to make the best of a bad situation
So we did the best we could building houses with no wood

Until it turned out that bricks of sand really aren't that good

And I'd go down to the corner store

And buy $3 worth of happy thoughts
But they'd never last long enough to please me
And you'd go round to your friends house

To buy me out of what I wasn't proud of
So I wouldn't have to think about it


But it turns out bricks of sand
Crumble the moment they leave your hand


I ignored my inner voice, thought I didn't have a choice
I'd have to make the best of the only valid option
So I denied myself of light and wondered why it felt like such a fight

And it never even crossed my mind that something wasn't right

And I'd go down to the corner store

And buy $3 worth of happy thoughts
But they'd never last long enough to please me
And you'd go round to your friends house

To buy me out of what I wasn't proud of
So I wouldn't have to think about it


But it turns out bricks of sand
Crumble the moment they leave your hand
