Brandon Banks Castaway Lyrics

Verse 1:
He lives in his dreams, to escape reality
Running towards happiness now
It's just distant memories
It's just distant memories the things he's seen
It's just broken promises he couldn't keep
It's just bottled up hurt that turned to rage
It's just all those muffled words he couldn't say, hey

Chorus:
Maybe if I, maybe if I, turned back the tides I
Won't be castaway, I'll see better days
Maybe if I, maybe if I, turned back the tides I
Won't be castaway, I'll see better days

Verse 2:
I was just a little baby
Mama told me to stay in my seat
Locked the doors she says I'm sorry
Dope House visits here too often
Watched you choose addiction over love
Divisive actions broken family trust
Pops comes home he turns the bottles up
Runaway my brothers had enough

Chorus:
Maybe if I maybe if I turned back the tides I
Won't be castaway, I'll see better days
Maybe if I, maybe if I, turned back the tides I
Won't be castaway, I'll see better days

Verse 3:
Tears flow down why am I crying Told to man up I'm a child
Now my sadness turns to anger
Rest my fists on broken faces
Violence now my only solace
My chaotic mind don't see no options
Close my eyes I'm fighting demons
Guess my dreams don't see none either
Maybe drugs or maybe liquor maybe church can help
Every single thing I try I can't escape myself
Watched my cousin die at 13 brothers in a cell
They say only sinners go God how is this not hell
What don't kill you make you stronger guess I'm bodybuilding
All this bullshit niggas go through body slam the ceiling
I could probably break a mountain hurdle over Pluto
Part the skies with just my mind, drown in oceans below

Chorus:
Maybe if I, maybe if I turned back the tides I
Won't be castaway, I'll see better days
Maybe if I, maybe if I turned back the tides I
Won't be castaway, I'll see better days

Outro:
Better days, when I close my eyes
Castaway, floating to the other side
Better days, when I close my eyes
Castaway, floating to the other side
