[Verse 1] [male vocals enter] Three kids, green smoke, and a broken dream Campground nights talking life at seventeen Andy and Beast knew the way I'd seen We were waiting on the world like a busted machine They call me real, I ain't never sold a lie Had a table full of names, kept a few by my side Everybody said forever when the last bells screamed Three kids, green smoke, and a broken dream [Verse 2] [drums and bass enter, driving rhythm] Robots class, pro-engineer Room full of kids who ain't want to be there Everybody had parts, nobody had plans Nobody asked how the gears made hands They were chasing the grade, I was watching the move Tryna see what a dead thing could turn into Blueprint dust in a half-built frame Years later, worlds came out that same flame [Chorus] [full band, high energy] 3D shapes turned ships in the sky Lost souls grew where the old dreams die They saw homework, I saw doors They saw scraps, I saw wars Clarity came with a quiet face I could read the room, never begged for space I was easy to talk to, hard to know Open front porch, locked back row [Chorus] Three kids, green smoke, and a broken dream Campground nights talking life at seventeen Andy and Beast knew the way I'd seen We were waiting on the world like a busted machine They call me real, I ain't never sold a lie Had a table full of names, kept a few by my side Everybody said forever when the last bells screamed Three kids, green smoke, and a broken dream [Verse 3] [palm-muted electric guitar] Art class, tall caps on a creative mind Color in the lines, don't cross that sign That's the kind of cage that can kill a band When the spark gets graded by a shaking hand Watch good people turn broken cold Left for the wolves when the room got old [Bridge] [dynamic build-up] Some came close, some came in fake Some only showed when there's something to take My ride or die cursed my name in the works Left me out dry when the whole thing burst I ain't perfect, I cracked, I bled Said some things from my half-dead head But camping was church with the trees leaning in Hundred-four Willis Creek mud on skin Family was close till I moved out clean Silence kept peace but it buried the scene Grandpa kept turning through the pages [Chorus] [full band] Sometimes you leave with the roof still tied I know where I'm from but I know what I've seen Some stayed warm, some swallowed the dream Three kids, green smoke, and a broken dream Campground nights still alive in me Andy and Beast knew the way I'd seen We were waiting on the world like a busted machine They call me real, I ain't never sold a lie Had a table full of names, kept a few by my side Everybody said forever when the last bells screamed Now I build whole worlds from a broken dream [Outro] Three kids, green smoke, and a broken dream Now I build whole worlds from a broken dream [acoustic guitar fades out] 🎙️ BloodOnTheMic: We’re live across the major streaming platforms.
