lyrics

CALLING YOUTH

We go wasting time feeling bored and old
We go wasting time feeling tired and gross
We go wasting years feeling life's a hack
We go wasting years we could never get back

We go wasting words, when we just talk
We go wasting hearts, gone broken and dark
We go wasting love, and everything else
We go wasting hurt, waste it on ourselves

Shallow hopes make shallow graves
I'll take my chances with my mistakes

We're calling, we're calling
Calling youth
We're calling, we're calling
Calling truth
Saving hope where hope is found
Testing faith that’s in the sound

Such a life we live to exist
Such a life we throw into the mist
Such a life we hold in our hands
Such a life that slips away like sand

Such a lame excuse to lose control
Such a lame excuse to be bold
Such a lame excuse of a life
Such a lame excuse why even try

Social whims and social norms
When everything you do is wrong

We're calling, we're calling
Calling youth
We're calling, we're calling
Calling truth
Saving hope where hope is found
Testing faith that’s in the sound

Saving hope where hope is found
Turn on your heels, forget the crowd

Saving hope where hope is found
Testing faith that’s in the sound

Saving hope where hope is found
Turn on your heels, forget the crowd
