ZAB - BULLETPROOF

Snow day mornings, no school bells Woke up to cartoons and theme songs yellin’ Blankets warm, cereal in hand Gundams fighting across the land Ran outside when the roads froze white Built dumb ramps, tried to catch some flight Board slid out, hit concrete hard Laughed it off with another scar N64 with the wires crossed GoldenEye battles, nobody lost Smack talk loud in the basement glow One more round before we go Then PS2 changed the game Late-night grinds never felt the same Xbox nights, four TVs split Halo parties till the sunrise hit Back when the world felt wide And every day was ours to ride Back when we were bulletproof Skinned-up hands and untied shoes Snowfall days and summer nights Living fast beneath porch lights Respawn dreams and endless tries Leveling up our younger lives Thought those days would never move Back when we were bulletproof Airsoft wars at Pioneer Village Running missions, acting fearless Plastic pellets and camo gear Felt like soldiers without the fear Till cops rolled up, lights cut through Hands on pistols, voices grew Thought it was real, guns drawn tight Changed the way we saw that night World of Warcraft stole our sleep Grinding raids till six a.m. deep Alliance wars and dungeon runs Real life paused when the game begun Anime nights on Toonami air Waiting all week just to be there Goku screaming, endless fight Made us chase that fire inside Back when time moved slow enough Before life started getting rough Back when we were bulletproof Skinned-up hands and untied shoes Snowfall days and summer nights Living fast beneath porch lights Respawn dreams and endless tries Leveling up our younger lives Thought those days would never move Back when we were bulletproof Now I drive those streets alone Half the houses I knew are gone Parks feel smaller than they did then Can’t fit back in where I’ve been Same old roads, different sky Same hometown, but so am I Funny how the place you knew Changes just like you do too Back when we were bulletproof Basement kings with nothing to lose Halo nights and winter breaks Every memory still awake Gundam wings and Azeroth skies Pixels burned into our eyes Thought those days would carry through Back when we were bulletproof Static glow from an old TV Still feels like home inside of me Can’t go back, but I still choose Those days when we were bulletproof
