Owls in the Attic

Lyrics to Old Souls, Young Hearts

We are the truth. We are the life.

We are the continuation. We are the New Age.

How can we lay the past to rest

When we are frantically pounding on its chest

Old souls. Young hearts.

We didn't build these walls, but we will tear them apart.

Be wary of the ones who call themselves your brothers.

Feeling fear is not what counts for something, your actions let you know just who you are becoming.

How can we lay the past to rest

When all we know is an unfinished monument?

Building ships when we have no plans

We grew old before we began

When the new comes

They are the old passing away

When those you've loved are gone

Know you can trust yourself to stay.

Old souls. Young hearts.

We didn't build these walls, but we will tear them apart

I do not need the threat of a hell

To force myself to treat my brothers and sisters well.

You have finally signed away your life.

This cycle will continue until you die.

You have become an illusion.

This cycle will continue until you die.

Fix your eyes forward

Know the past lies in the ground

It can only hurt you when you dig it up.

Fix your eyes forward

Know the past lies in the ground

Put the nail in the coffin with the life you've found.
