Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who would I be if I never met
A teacher, a priest, or a prophet?
What do I need, tell me, what does it mean?
Am I livin' or dyin' the dream?
[PreChorus]
Youth is broken, half of it was stolen
By a world I can't unsee
Youth is broken, half of it was stolen
Look what you've done to me
I was a target, I was the mission
You had the power, your ammunition
[Chorus]
Now I'm the message, this is a lesson
Here in the present, I am the weapon
Now I'm the message, this is a lesson
Here in the present, I am the weapon
[Verse 2]
Your concept of love and your hunger for war
Tell me, which one should I die for?
'Cause I am a product of how I was brought up
This cycle spins out of control
[PreChorus]
Youth is broken, half of it was stolen
By a world I can't unsee
Youth is broken, half of it was stolen
Look what you've done to me
I was a target, I was the mission
You had the power, your ammunition
[Chorus]
Now I'm the message, this is a lesson
Here in the present, I am the weapon
Now I'm the message, this is a lesson
Here in the present, I am the weapon
[Instrumental]
Am I livin' or dyin' the dream?
[Instrumental]
Am I livin' or dyin' the dream?
[Instrumental]
Youth is broken, half of it was stolen
By a world I can't unsee
Youth is broken, half of it was stolen
Look what you've done to me
I was a target, I was the mission
You had the power, your ammunition
[Chorus]
Now I'm the message (Now I'm the message), this is a lesson (This is a lesson)
Here in the present (Here in the present), I am the weapon
Now I'm the message (I am the weapon), this is a lesson (I am the weapon)
Here in the present (I am the weapon), I am the weapon
