The Youth Lyrics

He said

He was finally home

He made it big

The sun barely set

And he's ready to begin his week

But in the other room

Was a mind that would restart again

And try to hold on as a

New kid without confidence

He tried to pretend

That he wasn't in the room

That's when His father barged in and said

"You best be fucking listening"

In the back of his mind he knew that

This was just the start of it and

Bit down on his tongue

Until the blood dripped from his mouth

And he yelled

I eat just fine

In the bathroom stalls

Like learning to lie

I get a kick out of what your telling me

Go sharpen your knives

And hold the blades to your throat

This is my new reality

Please don't say you're proud of me

I felt this before

Mama thought I was bad news

When I left through that door

And smashed a few things on the

Way out

I'm desperate for more

Maybe it's not the best thing

To hide damaged young brain

Inside the things that you say

I eat just fine In the bathroom stalls

Like learning to lie

I get a kick out of what your telling me

Go sharpen your knives

And hold the blades to your throat

This is my new reality

Please don't say you're proud of me

I got a lot on my mind

The small examples

Are so hard to define me now

I think I might take my time

No sense in staying

When I know

I'll be on my way

I got a lot on my mind

The small examples

Are so hard to define me now

I think I might take my time

No sense in staying

When I know

I'll be on my way

I eat just fine In the bathroom stalls

Like learning to lie

I get a kick out of what your telling me

Go sharpen your knives

And hold the blades to your throat

This is my new reality

Please don't say you're proud of me

I eat just fine In the bathroom stalls

Like learning to lie

I get a kick out of what your telling me

Go sharpen your knives

And hold the blades to your throat

This is my new reality

Please don't say you're proud of me

I think I've lost my gravity

So fuck you and fuck what you think of me
