In the ghost of youth
In the ghost of youth
We are trapped
We are haunted
In the ghost of youth
We are trapped
We are haunted
In the ghost of youth
We are trapped
(We Are)
Suburban young pre-Soldiers
In the bedroom arcade
Sharp shot
Young bodies fall in summer
As young hearts distort,
is the distance too much?
Is this entertainment?
Will we achieve
The battlefield reward?
The social carrot on the stick
The military's magic trick
Public relations,
war equations,
too late
operate,
oppress,
and predate
for the superstate
But we are not this damage
We are not the sum
of our parts,
only targets in your eyes
A new world
in our hearts,
only targets in your...
...eyes!
Can we level it outward?
With this glittering protest transformation
This blood chemistry of
love of youth is our weaponization
Can you hear the sound through the fences?
Fireworks, or Consequences?
We achieve
The battlefield a reward?
The social carrot on the stick
The military's magic trick
Public relations,
war equations,
of hate
A new Norman Rockwell
collectible plate
But we are not this damage
We are not the sum
of our parts,
only targets in your eyes
A new world
in our hearts,
only targets in your eyes
We are not this damage
We are not the sum
of our parts,
We are not this damage
We are not the sum
of our parts,
We are not this damage
We are not the sum
of our parts,
only targets in your eyes
A new world in our hearts
only targets In Your Eyes
And the sum
of our parts
...
A new world in our hearts
Only targets in your eyes
