03. Wasted on the Young

Words by CP

Have you ever fallen so hard
you forgot which way is up?
is this the way we operate?
petrified and plasticised, immasculated and
told that we’re the reason for the hate

We feel for all that’s real
for all that never heals

Lambs to the shearer they take what we grow
that which keeps us warm and safe
please don’t forget the promise that you made
forever’s a long time to wait

Fire the starboard cannons, fire on all neurons
don’t let yourself get taken
reach out and take hold
don’t buy what’s been sold
to us this is a cheap immitation
of what’s meant to be
and what’s meant by ‘free’

So if you feel
that you can’t go on
and there’s no reason left to be strong anymore

But here’s the cruel bit
that bites the foolish
you don’t have a thing to show
for following the rules kid

Tell me how can you keep going on
around in circles endlessly like this
chasing after a lie that you were fed
the truth haunts you at night
and keeps you from your bed

Time is circular, just like paths we trace
sometimes we embrace things that burn
no-one can save you except for yourself
no-one can turn this around
no-one can save you now
