Buried in Sand
Clouds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You could tell me everything in your head
I don’t think you really feelin what you said
Adderall just got you hyped up, woah
Mix the xans, got your brain goin numb
Yeah I been constant
Or have you lost it
Gone numb to the feeling
Yuh
Lungs flooded
She looks at me disgusted
But still asking how the hell are you dealing
Hiding secrets in a box, locked up in the ceiling
Yeah
Then comes the heartbreak
Yuh, oh
That was the tie breaker
Woah
Did you come prepared
Or are you unaware
Yuh, Oh
You could tell me everything in your head
I don’t think you really feelin what you said
Down a bottle just to keep sane, woah
Vision blurry, now we’re drowning in the rain
Oo-oo we traced the lines in the sand
Another drug in her hand, nah
Oo-oo-oo I don’t understand
what is your plan
Fuck it
She’s blacked out again
Been sippin' on the henny just a lil bit, uh nah
Everything's getting blurry
I can tell that I'm way too lit
Woah
One heartbreak is really all it takes, oh
Just had to walk away
And she’s fucked up tryna act okay
Yuh, no
Sealing up the pain
Cant get you out of my brain
So I’m sniffing up the cocaine
She taking hits of every single different kinda hybrid strain
Nah
All I see is 220 on the dashboard
If I'm not careful, see me up on a billboard
Displayed,
OD’d and overplayed
I could tell you everything in my head
You don’t think I’m really feelin what I said
Down a bottle just to keep sane, woah
Vision blurry, now we’re drowning in the rain
Oo-oo we traced the lines in the sand
Another drug in her hand, nah
Oo-oo-oo I don’t understand
What is your plan
Fuck it
She’s blacked out again
Oo-oo-ooo
We traced the lines in the sand




Oo-oo-ooo-ooo
Yuh, we fucked up again
