Side Effects of Youth

(album: Violence & Destruction - 2014)

Hey, I get it
The sun has never seemed so bright
The colors never seemed so loud
And there's so many pretty girls, I get it
But don't forget who you are and who you were
'Cause if you put passion before principle
You'll lose, you'll lose
Even if you win
You'll lose, you'll lose
Even if you win

It's just the side effects of youth
That make you do those foolish things you do

Hey, surfs up
Life comes and goes in such a blur
Just don't forget who you are and who you were
Never put passion before principle
Who you are... and who you were...
'Cause even if you win you'll lose

It's just the side effects of youth
That make you do those foolish things you do
So don't let the sin pull you away
Don't fall in love with a foolish game

We are the strong ones, we have our sight
Our feet are quick to move to do what we like
So let's drop our passions and our lustful ways
And find some meaning in these last days
We swim through poison. Our brains aren't bad yet
We are the visionaries. Oh... am I getting scary?
This is the realest of the real
This is something you can feel
Something tangible
Something so obtainable
And yet so far away
Farther than Mars
And shooting stars
And flying cars
So when you gonna learn kid?
Huh?
When you gonna learn kid?

These are the side effects of you!
I get it
