The young and the reckless

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
Both of our hearts keep letting go
In the back of our minds we know
I aim to let it go

Too many times
I've watched us crash and burn
At the fork in the road
We've made a wrong turn
We've made a wrong...

If these apartment walls could talk
The story would be a nightmare
When all you wants a dream (when all you want)
We're just living a lie
And this will never survive
So we run and hide
Whenever the truth arrives

Don't you know I'm sick of this bullshit
It's like I'm stuck in the ocean
Taken 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)
Note to self: Kid, you'll probably never learn
These words are self-reflective (you're drowning yourself)
The fork in this road is your heart choosing heaven or hell (your heart choosing heaven or hell)
