"SANDBOX" lyrics

I bought myself a sandbox
Somewhere I can bury my head
I'm trying to make the voices stop
Don't wanna hear what they said

They told me there's a brand-new holocaust
They asked if I'd be taking a stand
I said I'd rather keep my world small
So I keep to myself

You know I gotta turn my mind off
Just so I can sleep in my bed
I'm just gonna let my brain rot
Ignore the blood on my hands

I never wanted the truth
I only wanted the peace
Why bother watching the news?
It's not what I want to see
There's nothing that I can do
Until it happens to me
Until it happens to me

I'm gonna buy myself a sandbox

Somewhere I can bury my head
What happened to the spine I lost?
It's getting harder to stand
I'm gonna build myself a big wall

I'll never see what I don't want to again
I close my eyes and then it's gone
Like it doesn't exist

I never wanted the truth
I only wanted the peace
Why bother watching the news?
If it's not what I want to see
There's nothing that I can do
Until it happens to me
Better it happen to you
Than let it happen to me

I never wanted the truth
I only wanted the peace
Why bother watching the news?
It's not what I want to see
There's nothing that I can do
Until it happens to me
Until it happens to me

I'm gonna buy myself a sandbox
Somewhere I can bury my head
I'm gonna buy myself a sandbox
