My Sandbox

I am darkness, I am light, the feeble fire, the bitter night, tomorrow's gone before it starts But yesterday still tears me apart, I'm only human, only flesh My calloused hands won't say the rest, my heart is strong but my soul is weak Trapped in my sandbox memories And you don't know the pain, and you can't fix my fears And you can't bring my brothers back, or wipe away the years I am broken, I've been forced down to my knees And I am hopeless, fill the space that's in between With liquid molten, from these jaded memories And set me free I don't recognize my home, ghosts of people I don't know Say welcome back, you made us proud But the peace and quiet is a deafening sound And there's a stranger in the mirror, a cold dark phantom that I fear A shallow man who's given in, ran from the battle and sank within I am broken, I've been forced down to my knees And I am hopeless, fill the space that's in between With liquid molten, from these jaded memories And set me free And you don't know the pain, and you can't fix my tears And you can't bring my brothers back, or wipe away the years I am broken, I've been forced down to my knees And I am hopeless, fill the space that's in between With liquid molten, from these jaded memories I am homesick, for the blood and for the sand And you won't know this, but I'm proud of who I am When I am hopeless, and lost inside the fight It's not the stress that's killin me, but the loss of it entirely, set me free
