Youth by The Crookes Lyrics

With split lips, oh a smile can be hard
Dirt, blood, grit, a catalogue of youthful scars
They made it clear from the very start that pain lies beyond the cries of damned young hearts
Does it show in my sunken eyes that these concrete skies move too slow?
Tarmaced seas; a breeze from lonely nights
Blood drips downs my knees...I'm sick of worthless fights
Does it show in my sullied smile that it's not my style?
Time slows...let me go
But I just let things slide, in the glow of pale lights...as our laughter splits the night
In time, I'll grow to find that all we'll ever have are blissful moments quickly passed
It's obscene they're so few and far between
I'll take solitude and I'll take calm
All my hopes were chewed and spat out (with charm)
Faith entwined all my deepest fears...and my strange ideas youth might be kind
But I just let things slide, in the glow of pale lights...as our laughter splits the night
In time, I'll grow to find that all we'll ever have are blissful moments quickly passed
It's obscene they're so few and far between
