Wasted Youth

I feel it, I feel it under my skin
I feel the start of the end
It burns and it burns through my mind
Yet I still look inside
Searching from within
Begging for peace of mind, yeah

Rotted through
Like we have nothing but bones to lose
Trapped in this moment in time, inside this frail mind
Hanging on to memories of brighter days
A fleeting hope that we can make a change
I've opened my eyes, I'm not afraid anymore

They say we're the wasted youth
Hold me close and don't let go
They say we don't know the truth
Don't let these demons take control

I feel it, I feel it settling in
This feeling starting again
It burns and it burns through my soul
No sense of wrong or right
My eyes are fighting the light
I fear I'm running out of time,
I fear we’re running out of time

I fear the light is burning out
I fear the worst but I can't make a sound
Did we forget the words that we were told?
We were the children with hearts of gold

I fear the light is burning out
I see the world as it comes down
Did we forget the words we're told?
When did innocence become so old?

I've seen the fire that's in your eyes
I watched it leave the day your spirit died
Promise me you won't remember a thing
The world's not the same as it used to be

Don't let these demons take you
I've seen the fire that's in your eyes

I'm letting go, of all the pain we live in
I'm letting go, I'm letting go

They say we're the wasted youth
Hold me close and don't let go
They say we don't know the truth
Don't let these demons take control
Hold me close and don’t let go
