DESCRIPTION:
"Youth is never wasted on the young" from the album "Counterstep"

Time’s never wasted, when it’s spent
and we turn our face to it.
We carve our paths, and we make it bend,
with our shoulders back as we race through it.
The heat of the lactic acid spreads
as legs set the pace of it.
Trying to catch our breath
and kick off the shadows chasing us.
We push the earth round underfoot like a circus skill
and understand inertia ages us so we’re certain
we’re not here to stay
still we’re young enough to know,
the faster we all live, the slower time’ll go.
And like a tape machine that’s always running,
We’ll fill it all with sound or else we’ll listen back to nothing.
And like a tape machine that’s always running,
We’ll fill it all with sound or else we’ll listen back to nothing.

They don’t understand that they got us wrong,
yeah they got us wrong, when they said,
youth was wasted on the young.

Before we learn to doubt,
before we’re taught to fear our failures,
we know the world is ours still
and there are no limitations.
We expect perfection and hold the harshest grudges.
We cut our hearts out for our exes and don’t let anybody judge us.
Empty ourselves into the next one. Forget there was ever another.
Give ourselves away as though it’s nothing.
We drink like we’re invincible and pour poison in our bodies,
obsessed with daily pleasures, tomorrow’s pain won’t stop us.
We wake with serrated throats and scream the rust into the wind
because we are our own reality,
and see through eyes that extinguish it in a blink

They don’t understand that they got us wrong,
yeah they got us wrong, when they said,
youth was wasted on the young.

We’ll fill it all with sound, we’ll fill it all with sound,
We’ll fill it all with sound, we’ll fill it all with sound.
