Atmosphere - Hell’s Playground lyrics
[Atmosphere - Hell’s Playground lyrics]
It's like I change my plans
With every grain of sand
That gets caught between my toes
Of worries and woes
If they would take my hand
Maybe the pains of man
Wouldn't seem like such a bad
Dream that you can't control
All the thoughts that come
That make you toss your lunch
Every time that you think that
You can hold it down so now I'm off to jump
To bunny hop the bumps
That life sets up to hold my head underground
Cause I move back and forth on a swing set
The scenery stays the same
I ain't learned a thing yet
It comes and goes (and it comes again)
The sun the snow the rain the wind
(the wind) and ain't none of it pretend
If I could bend all the barbed wires and bars
I could escape the playpen and make
My way toward the stars
Pick up the pieces of broken keepsakes
And sprint across the field until
Both of my feet ache i hung from my limbs
Off of the jungle gyms
Until my muscle got sore and
My hustle got bored
And when I jumped down to take a look around
The only faces I recognized were
The ones I ignored
I took the obstacle course at full speed
Still it's probable that the home
Team will hold the lead
But if it's possible I request that
They let me take a seat
Stop the coach and ask him how
I got into the league
It goes six six something
Miles beneath the surface championship
It's the skin verses the shirtless
And I don't know which side
I'm supposed to be on
And I can't tell if it's
Getting closer to dawn well excuse me
But I had a rough evening
I was shaken out of my
Rest when I stopped breathing
Awoken from my sleep awoken from my dreams
Chokin' on my? Holdin' on to my screams
And the sea turned blue and
The sky turned blue
And when I sing the blues
All the lies come true
As we convince each other what's old is now
The books, the rent and the end is overdue
The waiting pool is full of the
Blood of the unbound souls
Submerge my urges as I plug my nose
And swim laps around the
Momentary laps of loss
Use a stick to write my name in
Every line I have to cross
Toss some change into the fountain
To make a wish
But most of us are wishing for
A little bit of change
Sneak a cigarette break between
First and second down
And play match of hind and seek
With your heart and your brain
Well olly olly oxen free duck duck gray duck
King of the hill fell off and broke his crown
The neighborhood runt lost his
Voice from yelling, "Wait up!"
And the needle ran away with
The spoon Hell's Playground
We all, play the same games
We all, learn to share the same pains
So while we wait for the
Machine to break down
We play self one on one out on the playground
Till the end
O-o-o oh child, things are gonna get easier
(You're gonna have to fight
Your own little war)
With every grain of sand
That gets caught between my toes
Of worries and woes
If they would take my hand
Maybe the pains of man
Wouldn't seem like such a bad
Dream that you can't control
All the thoughts that come
That make you toss your lunch
Every time that you think that
You can hold it down so now I'm off to jump
To bunny hop the bumps
That life sets up to hold my head underground
Cause I move back and forth on a swing set
