The Sin Of Youth

I don't know how to say it but I know I really want to

Our lives are a mess and you know we've been lied to

Our future's unsecure, and our parents disappointed

A few moments of freedom, isn't that all we ever wanted?

The world's gone to hell and we're barely holding on

The lessons history taught us, I guess they're all gone

They say time will heal everything, but I'm not too sure

I'm just as scared as you, don't know what we're fighting for

Pretending we're not lonely, acting like we're not lost

Living in the greatest time surely, but we don't know our cause.

Filled with bliss in a moment and depressed in another

Finding love in a moment and in the next we don't bother

And maybe you're right, maybe people don't care

Maybe the only way to win at life is to not play fair

But what do we know? We're just a couple of poets

Bleeding on paper, letting our words fight in protest

I don't know how to say it but I know I really want to

Our lives are a mess and you know we've been lied to
