Bricks of Sand Lyrics

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
