Sandcastles - Ray Vaughn & Ab-Soul

I want to be your lover Tied up and twisted around I want to be your lover Till I'm underground I want to be your man But you don't feel the same I feel it in your hands Now I'm filled with shame I woke up in a foreign land In a castle made of sand No one wants me, no one wants me I woke up with a broken hand In a castle made of sand Blunts and madness fill my lungs And I am on the floor When the darkness salts my tongue I'll crawl back for more I'm falling from the sky But you don't even care I see it in your eyes A cold and blackened stare I woke up in a foreign land In a castle made of sand No one wants me, no one wants me I woke up with a broken hand In a castle made of sand I swear one day I'll make it right When I'm out on the other side After I spend some time alone Soon I'll be coming home I swear one day I'll make it right Until then I will do my time There's no place left to go Now all I know is I'm locked up in a foreign land In a castle made of sand

When he comes around, I can't contain myself The feelings like a magnet I've tried a million times, but can't explain myself All I knows I've gots to have it A drug I never even asked for But now I can't quit, too addicted Or is it all inside my head And my eyes are tricking Making me see what was never there I don't care, you're Damn near perfect Beautiful you are, yeah Or is it just a mirage? You've got me in the desert dry But seeing waterfalls Someone save me I'm on the verge of falling In love Or am I falling to the ground? And everyone can see it Won't believe it I don't see no one around, yeah Damn, uh You can see in my eyes (in my eyes) That I'm too hypnotized (hypnotized) Temperature's too high I smile but then I cry So stupid fucking high That I forget about the lows And the lows get pretty low, oh To the point that I might die But I wanna stay alive Stop hallucinating over lame ass niggas (Lame ass niggas) I'll snap out of it in time Damn, damn Damn near perfect Beautiful you are, yeah Or is it just a mirage? You've got me in the desert dry But seeing waterfalls Someone save me I'm on the verge of falling Back Back to my senses Back to the real life Now I realize you were never good for me Back Back to my senses Back to the real life, yeah Now I realize you were never good for me, mm-mm It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame It's a shame, shame

It hurts to let go when you're holding on so tight, just like a vine You climb up, fall down, get hurt, but you still wanna climb You think trying again won't hurt, saying it'll be better this time But it turns out you're on a roundabout, and not a straight line Oh, feels like I'm going in circles lately Don't know how to get out safely Get stuck in my thoughts daily Don't know how to move on from the past I really thought me and her would last Don't know how it all even passed But to be honest it happened way too fast Ay, gotta learn how to move on It's taking way too long, gotta get a move on We tried to hold on for too long But we can't get a right from two wrongs It hurts to let go when you're holding on so tight, just like a vine You climb up, fall down, get hurt, but you still wanna climb You think trying again won't hurt, saying it'll be better this time But it turns out you're on a roundabout, and not a straight line What is you telling me Watching your dress set fire, situation dire You lying to me You started the fight, why you crying to me? Girl, I'm feeling transparent, you seeing through me Lately your skin ain't been warm, just like usual It remind me of December I told you to quote me, now you "don't remember" I wanted to free your mind, but now it's sheltered Smoke in the air, fogging up my mentals I'm faking a smile, showing off my dentals Playing games, like my middle name, it'll paint your picture looking selfish Why don't you realize that I cherish that look in your eyes It emit vibes when I'm lonely Just want somebody to hold me It hurts to let go when you're holding on so tight, just like a vine You climb up, fall down, get hurt, but you still wanna climb You think trying again won't hurt, saying it'll be better this time But it turns out you're on a roundabout, and not a straight line
