Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Bare knees on the asphalt Skinned hands Iron taste We were saints in leather jackets Daring God to blink first Spray-paint crowns on the train cars Pocketknives and prayers Laughing at the warnings Breathing rust and summer air [Chorus] Youthanasia We were burning on the wire Trading every tomorrow for a second more of fire Raise your scars like a flag into the night If we die a little younger We still lived it twice as bright [Verse 2] We carved vows in the bus stop Blood-ink on the glass Saying “nothing’s gonna touch us” As the sirens screamed past Graduation in a graveyard Names we used to know We drank to missing faces Swore we’d never grow old [Chorus] Youthanasia We were burning on the wire Trading every tomorrow for a second more of fire Raise your scars like a flag into the night If we die a little younger We still lived it twice as bright [Bridge] Do you hear them Calling? Old songs in a cracked cassette (hey!) Every echo Falling Still I can’t regret [Chorus] Youthanasia We were burning on the wire Trading every tomorrow for a second more of fire Raise your scars like a flag into the night If we die a little younger We still lived it twice as bright [Chorus] Youthanasia Write our names across the sky Let the thunder be the witness As we kiss the past goodbye Hold this moment Let it never turn to dust If we vanish like a rumour We still lived the way we must
