The Young and Beyond Reckless - Tyler Carter, Slaves

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?
