L⇔R - Young Blood Lyrics

I was born into a war
With nothing left to fight for
My little heart chose art
Knew I was doomed from the start

Lightest feet on rotten soil
Made to follow or destroy
Hurt is worth all the love they stole
Led with a promise made of smoke

The cursed land I called my home
With nowhere safe for me to roam
It only taught me to survive
When it was hard to stay alive

I have discovered many things
Scars in my back where once were wings
I thought that ruin was my fate
I ran before it was too late

(Young blood on the run
Red trails show where it's from
Young bloods who run pay the price
Young blood for the sacrifice)

I ran before it was too late!

(Young blood on the run
Red trails show where it's from
Young bloods who run pay the price
Young blood for the sacrifice)

(Young blood on the run
Red trails show where it's from
Young bloods who run pay the price
Young blood for the sacrifice)

(Young blood on the run
Red trails show where it's from
Young bloods who run pay the price
Young blood for the sacrifice)

I lit a fire in my soul
With sparks of life and mounds of coal
They danced around it while it burned
But when it faded then they turned

Solitude became a heavy crown
It bent my head to face the ground
My voice got stuck behind my throat
And silence rose to stay afloat

(Young blood on the run
Red trails show where it's from
Young bloods who run pay the price
Young blood for the sacrifice)

And silence rose to stay afloat!

(Young blood on the run
Red trails show where it's from
Young bloods who run pay the price
Young blood for the sacrifice)

(Young blood on the run
Red trails show where it's from
Young bloods who run pay the price
Young blood for the sacrifice)

(Young blood on the run
Red trails show where it's from
Young bloods who run pay the price
Young blood for the sacrifice)

After the battle's lost and won
I find there's nowhere left to run
I turn my eyes into the sun
Only to find that there was none

There's gods to feed, insects to feed
Because the blood precedes the seed
The sacrifice demand one bleeds
And I was chosen for the deed

If this is what's left
If this is all that there is
If this is what's left
Is this all that's left of me?

Draw your guns and fire
Shake the grounds and dry
The rivers running
I'm still here
Drain my heart of blood and
Hit me like a storm
I may be torn but
I'm still here
Do your best to break me
Waste my mind to debris
I lie cold but
I'm still here
Warfare take my body
Wreck it how you do
I may be torn but
I'm still here

Draw your guns and fire
Shake the grounds and dry
The rivers running
I'm still here
Drain my heart of blood and
Hit me like a storm
I may be torn but
I'm still here
Do your best to break me
Waste my mind to debris
I lie cold but
I'm still here
Warfare take my body
Wreck it how you do
I may be torn but
I'm still here

Draw your guns and fire
Shake the grounds and dry
The rivers running
I'm still here
(Rivers running I'm still)
Drain my heart of blood and
Hit me like a storm
I may be torn but
I'm still here
(Maybe torn but I'm still)
Do your best to break me
Waste my mind to debris
I lie cold but
I'm still here
(I lie cold but I'm still)
Warfare take my body
Wreck it how you do
I may be torn but
I'm still here
(Maybe torn but I'm still here!)

(Ah, ah)
I'm still here
(Ah, ah)
I'm still here
