propagated strife (acoustic version) Lyrics

Spit flies in the living room

Hug the door till all resume

The kindred nuclear charade you've all been watching

A weighted heart sinking the chest

Sitting alone with bated breath

Trying to be a waterfall let it all wash off please

Oh, how it pains to be young

To soak all of it in like a sponge, to be wrung

She holds all the breath in her lungs

A song without the strength to be sung, bitten tongues

The air is thick, come grab a slice

It tastes of propagated strife

A recipes that's been passed down for ages

Knuckles like a string of pearls

Clutching on as lips are curled

And echoing from off the bars of gilded cages

Oh, scared but there's nowhere to run

Her pulse pounds to the beat of a drum, overcome

She'll push all of it down till she's numb

You won't realize the damage was done, to be young

Oh, how it pains to be young

To soak all of it in like a sponge, to be wrung

She holds all the breath in her lungs

A song without the strength to be sung, bitten tongues

Oh, how it pains to be young

Oh, how it pains to be young

To be young
