Spent years in liquid harmony
This dream is who i wanna be
Youth and Whiskey
I grew from those who hate me
Stead fast to a razorblade symphony
Cigerettes n`lyrics made me
Youth and Whiskey
Can te see.Can te see me
Im strong from what they made me
These angeli who carry me
They taught me
Youth and Whiskey
Baptized in smoke and misery
A loaded gun and a bastards history
My temples for the crazy
Youth and Whiskey
No sorrow left inside of me
Celebrate the momments behind me
This shot is holy mary
Youth and Whiskey
Can te see.Can te see me
Im strong from what they made me
These angeli who carry me
They taught me
Youth and Whiskey
Hey,Hey brothers
Hey,Hey fighters
Bottles living for another round
Hey,Hey lovers
Hey,Hey liars
Thottles speeding towards a blackout
Blackout!
Can te see.Can te see me
Im strong from what they made me
These angeli who carry me
They taught me
Youth and Whiskey
