Live Young, Die Fast Lyrics

It's no big surprise
We turned out this way
It's in our eyes
Like shallow graves
But we are one with the larva and dirt
We don't discriminate at all
For what it's worth

So live young, die fast
No one will last
So sit back and relax
Enjoy the crash
You're fading to black and you're gone
Live young, die fast
Die fast

Young easy life
And untimely death
This doesn't work at all for me
So save your breath
You took your time
And stashed it away
Deep down inside of a cardboard box
Marked "rainy day"

Live young, die fast
No one will last
So sit back and relax
Enjoy the crash
It fades into black and it's gone
Live young, die fast

And I feel a miracle
In every breath that I breathe
Won't let this miracle
End in tragedy
I sense a miracle
In all that I see
Won't let this miracle
Slip away from me

Live young, die fast
No one will last
So sit back and relax
Enjoy the crash
It fades into black and it's gone
Live young, die fast
Live young, die fast
Die fast
Live young, die fast
No one will last
So sit back and relax
Enjoy the crash
It fades into black and it's gone
Live young, die fast
Die fast

Last year a girl at my school was at a party when some guy drove through everyone with his car, she died. And the next day i looked at her bebo page and it said "Live Young, Die Fast"

This song reminds me of that.

The lyrics are wrong. This part: It's not big surprise We turned out this way It's in our eyes Like shallow graves But we are one with the lover and grace

Should say this: It's no big suprise we turned out this way It's in our eyes like shallow graves But we are one with the larvae and dirt

Just thought I'd fix it :)

Good song, but the acoustic version is better. Has an extra verse at the end and a better flow. For those who haven't heard it, it does the first 2 verses in a row with no chorus. Then it has the chorus and some of the better lyrics in the song...

Tomorrow night, This tragedy, Will be filed under distant memory, I bit my tongue, And I let it bleed, I've never been big on originality

Good stuff!

great song...it always reminds me that no one will live forever, even though sometimes we feel invincible.
