Because They're Young

lyrics

You're a sage in your heart but a fool on the stage
A mouse in the field but a lion in a cage
Between heroes that die and cowards that live
We could give up the night and just try to believe
Through rewrites and rewrites we fix all our thoughts
Stretch spirits for divine light we have sought
Repeat and repeat, reload and reload
Stand up in the now, fall back like before

Because they're young
They're going to fall down, daddy
Because they're young
Because they're young
They're going to live forever
Because they're young

I've seen you fall
I've seen you hurt all night
You're supernova heart I've tried to contain
Keep up the facade
You can wear all these faces
With your trembling hand
Held in the air
Count survivors
Drawn like soldiers
Hearts all glowing
Eyes like vectors

Because they're young
They're going to fall down, daddy
Because they're young
Because they're young
They're going to live forever
Because they're young

All my brilliance goes
When you blow wind blow
I'll be a tyrant king
A self-devoted being
My instincts urge to reign
To navigate my brain
And when you mutiny
I'll set your spirits free

Because they're young
They're going to fall down, daddy
Because they're young
Because they're young
They're going to live forever
Because they're young
