Militant Me - My Sandbox Lyrics

I am darkness, I am light, the feeble fire, the bitter night, tomorrow's gone before it starts
But yesterday still tears me apart, I'm only human, only flesh
My calloused hands won't say the rest, my heart is strong but my soul is weak
Trapped in my sandbox memories,

And you don't know the pain, and you can't fix my fears,
And you can't bring my brothers back, or wipe away the years

I am broken, I've been forced down to my knees
And I am hopeless, fill the space that's in between
With liquid molten, from these jaded memories
And set me free

I don't recognize my home, ghosts of people I don't know
Say welcome back, you made us proud
But the peace and quiet is a deafening sound
There's a stranger in the mirror, a cold dark phantom that I fear
A shallow man who's given in, ran from the battle and sank within

I am broken, I've been forced down to my knees
And I am hopeless, fill the space that's in between
With liquid molten, from these jaded memories
And set me free

And you don't know the pain, and you can't fix my tears
And you can't bring my brothers back, or wipe away the years

I am broken, I've been forced down to my knees
And I am hopeless, fill the space that's in between
With liquid molten, from these jaded memories
I am homesick, for the blood and for the sand
And you won't know this, but I'm proud of who I am
When I am hopeless, and lost inside the fight
It's not the stress that's killin me, but the loss of it entirely, set me free
