Reckless Kids

Reckless Kids By Kevin Robey February 6, 2014 Bones left to rot, this stupid luck we got They may think we’re dead but we sure live a lot Enjoy their lives and count the things they got We may be walking dead but we sure live a lot Yeah damn right we live a lot However bright you think we are We’re nothing more than shooting stars Frequencies of truth, lost signals of our youth Ink of me and you, for nothing more than proof Desperate lives today until we burn away It’s ok to say the crazy live this way But you’d know it’s true if you only knew Tears that we escape with reckless things we do We’ll cut to the days where hope redefines These hollowed-out dreams inside of our minds To know this great pain doesn’t make us strong It makes us wise to the calls we got wrong With the past growing heavy on our backs Knowing that we will never fade to black Footsteps grow louder than the echoes of ghosts Always holding close the stars we'll miss the most
