Ant - 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 Hook 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 (x3) {Till the end} Ooooh child, things are gonna get easier (You're gonna have to fight your own little war)
