Slaves The Young and Beyond Reckless song lyrics

A puppet is only strong as its strings

I forgive and forget, yet the truth still stings

The lies are all easy, and the words are hard to swallow

The leaders get killed, we're never fulfilled, yet we follow (we all follow)

In the back of our minds we know

But then the hearts keep letting go

In the back of our minds we know

I angst to let go

Too many times, I've watched this crash and burn

At the fork in the road

We made a wrong turn

We made a wrong.

If these apartment walls could talk

Oh the story would be a nightmare

When all you wants a dream (when all you want)

We're just living a lie

This will never survive

So we run and hide

Whenever the truth arrives

In the back of our minds we know

But then the hearts keep letting go

In the back of our minds we know

I angst to let go

Too many times, I've watched this crash and burn

At the fork in the road

We made a wrong turn

We made a wrong.

Don't you know I'm sick of this bullshit

It's like I'm stuck in the ocean

Take it away to the open

Give it a day I'll be hoping for someone to rescue me

Let me put a message in a bottle (to whom it may concern)

A note to self kid, you'll probably never learn

These words are self-inflected (you're drowning yourself)

The fork in this road is your heart choosing heaven or hell (your heart choosing heaven or hell)
