Lyrics The Young and Beyond Reckless - Tyler Carter, Slaves

The Young and Beyond 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
So 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
Oh, 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
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
So 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…
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?
