Slaves (US) - The Young and Beyond Reckless 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 k**ed, 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 bullsh** 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)
