Youngbloods
The Amity Affliction Lyrics

Have you looked up lately
Have you taken a moment to reflect on your surroundings?

And seen the cold lonely skies?
And noticed how the world can seem bleak and isolating?

And looked into the mirror
And evaluated aspects of yourself?

And seen your black lonely eyes?
And recognized a feeling of sadness and loneliness within yourself?

Well I have and I want to know
I have, and I am reflecting on that experience.

Why I feel like death is round the corner
Why I have a sense of impending doom and mortality.

I still feel so young
Despite this, I still have a sense of youth and vitality.

And in my chest I've the beating of
I have a strong sense of inner strength and energy.

A thousand youngbloods
A powerful, youthful energy that feels limitless.

Youngbloods run free forever
Youthful energy is boundless and eternal.

Forget the death that's ever nearer
Don't let the fear of death consume you.

Let the fires burn inside your eyes
Keep your passion and enthusiasm alive.

We won't give up these memories
We will hold onto our experiences and emotions tightly.

We won't go near those cemeteries
We won't allow death to have an overwhelming presence in our lives.

And have you ever felt the breath of the midnight reaper?
Have you ever felt like death is near?

His whisper's deathly cold, deathly cold and nearer
The fear of death can be overwhelming and suffocating.

The sun never rises when you're in his presence
Death can feel like everything is dark and hopeless.

Your tears run black as coal
The sadness that comes with death can feel like it consumes you entirely.

And your chest ceases its movements
The idea of death can make you feel like you're unable to breathe or move forward.

And your young blood runs so cold
Death can make you feel numb and lifeless.

And the whispers in the skies
The overwhelming presence of death can feel inescapable.

Well so have I, so we need to run together
I understand the fear of death, and we need to support each other through it.

Light up the sky and scream fuck the reaper
Embrace life and defy death.

This life is for the keeping
Life is something to be valued and cherished.

This song is for the dreamers
This song is a call to those who have a strong sense of hope and imagination.

Just keep on screaming
Keep your passion and energy alive.

Youngbloods, young hearts alike
Those who have a youthful energy and spirit.
