Chukwudi Hodge - Cardboard Castles lyrics

[Hook] Out on the curb again On the curb again I've come to learn it's hard and firm Out on the curb again Out on the curb again On the curb again I've come to learn it's hard and firm Out on the curb again [Bridge] I'm in my room making cardboard castles With shoestring rope Soup spoon drawbridge Tinfoil moat I'm still dreaming after all these years I'm in my room making cardboard castles With shoestring rope Soup spoon drawbridge Tinfoil moat I'm still dreaming after all these years [Verse 1] Because if we don't build it who will? I do things on a shoestring that you couldn't do for a cool mil I run with no laces, and when I fall, I start To build my Taj Mahal with sh** I found at Dollarmart This life's our greatest project The journey's all an art But I built my perfect nest, and it's ‘bout to fall apart Again and again and then I just I make it twice as high And I give my tower teeth, and I watch it bite the sky Because I might just cry if I don't keep it moving I focus on what I can make and not what just got ruined ‘Cause every stone will crumble down to dust, to dust, to dust And I say love thy neighbor, and I say f** thy hater There's nothing I can't solve with duct tape and construction paper I don't want a Band-Aid, I'll only rip it off, I'll rip it off [Hook] Out on the curb again On the curb again I've come to learn it's hard and firm Out on the curb again Out on the curb again On the curb again I've come to learn it's hard and firm Out on the curb again [Verse 2] I know someday I'll pa**, and maybe then rest I'm laying on my back; Heaven's my bench press ‘Cause my imagination is crazy as Glenn Beck A cloud is floating by in the shape of a rent check And when the world ends, that's what I'll plan towards Then I'll trust girlfriends and maybe landlords Cause I been played but I'm looking for more I say, "What would I gain if I took it to court?" ‘Cause if people were perfect then there wouldn't be war We stay pushing but once we get a foot in the door We get our toes chopped off and a foot of manure I still gotta believe people Are good at the core ‘Cause if we weren't, what's at stake? Why would we stay to break what we make And create all these beautiful mistakes When they blow our house down let's draw on the walls, the walls, the walls [Bridge] I'm in my room making cardboard castles With shoestring rope Soup spoon drawbridge Tinfoil moat I'm still dreaming after all these years I'm in my room making cardboard castles With shoestring rope Soup spoon drawbridge Tinfoil moat I'm still dreaming after all these years [Hook] Out on the curb again On the curb again I've come to learn it's hard and firm Out on the curb again Out on the curb again On the curb again I've come to learn it's hard and firm Out on the curb again [Bridge] I'm in my room making cardboard castles With shoestring rope Soup spoon drawbridge Tinfoil moat I'm still dreaming after all these years I'm in my room making cardboard castles With shoestring rope Soup spoon drawbridge Tinfoil moat I'm still dreaming after all these years
