Never Play

Never play by the stairs, your bound to fall down 

Never play by the hillside, You might slip and break your crown 

Never play by the fire, It's a danger to your health 

Never play by the wall, You might fall and break yourself 

Never play by the river, You might tumble in and drown 

Never play by the fields, You'll get filthy, dirty and brown 

Never play by yourself It's a danger to be alone 

Never stray too far away, It's not safe outside of home 

I didn't ask to be born 

I don't think I'll ask to die 

I didn't ask for the ground beneath my feet 

I didn't ask for the sky 

All that I ask, My darling 

All I really ask of you 

All that I ask, My darling 

Is that you stay here with me.

Youth

Shadows settle on the place, that you left.
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness.
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time.
From the perfect start to the finish line.

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
The lovers that went wrong.

We are the reckless,
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we'll reveal the truth
That one will die before he gets there.

And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone.
We're setting fire to our insides for fun.
Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home,
It was a flood that wrecked this home.

And you caused it,
And you caused it,
And you caused it

Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette,
I'm a lifeless face that you'll soon forget,
And my eyes are damp from the words you left,
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one,
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone.
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
To distract our hearts from ever missing them.
But I'm forever missing him.
