No-Good Youth by Blooming Heads Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For three years, my life wasn't mine
I spent the whole time trying to touch the sun
When I did, my body burned up

Years made up of crime, secret patterns, and parallel lines
Just to find that telling the truth gets you crucified

[Refrain]
Replay and reiterate
I lost my position and I’m struggling just to reinstate

[Chorus]
For those who haven't been here since the start
I'll tell you how we lost our "dearly departed"
An outcome that we all should’ve reached long ago

[Refrain]
Replay and reiterate
How I lost the position that I'm struggling just to reinstate
[Verse 2]
I was a child then
Naïve enough not to raise the bar
I was simply different
Does anyone else have such scars?

[Bridge]
Or is it just me?
Is it just me
Or is it that my own scars are too plain to see?
I was a no-good youth who was desperate to hide how vile I felt underneath

[Chorus]
For those who haven't been here since the start
I'll tell you how we lost our "dearly departed"
An outcome everyone else reached long ago

[Outro]
And long before me
Oh, what a sad sight to have seen
To have seen
