Wasting My Youth
Slaves
I know apologies won’t pardon who we are
The feeling I’ve repressed is going out of style
You broke the quiet with a bullet from afar
Buried in my chest, singing like a choir
Oh let me be an animal
Unbridled by the words you speak
How would I know if you’ve been telling the truth
When there’s a part of me that hates the way I’m wasting my youth
We tied the knot but you were tying a noose
Now there’s a part of me that hates the way I’m wasting my youth on you
Don’t wanna live with the missing part of me
With the way things used to be
With a dream that’s lost at sea
The past is a plague, it’s not some sleepy town
It’s a life that I can’t life down
And it’s yours for the taking the now
How would I know if you’ve been telling the truth
When there’s a part of me that hates the way I’m wasting my youth
We tied the knot but you were tying a noose
Now there’s a part of me that hates the way I’m wasting my youth on you
(Oh let me be an animal
Unbridled by the words I speak)
Oh let me be an animal
Unbridled by the words I speak
How would I know if you’ve been telling the truth
When there’s a part of me that hates the way I’m wasting my youth
We tied the knot but you were tying a noose
Now there’s a part of me that hates the way I’m wasting my youth on you
On You
