Slaves (US) - The Young And The Reckless lyrics

[Verse 1] 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) [Chorus] 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 [Hook] 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... [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Hook] [Outro: Tyler Carter] Don't you know I'm sick of this bullsh** 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)
