Dead - Youth Screams & Fades lyrics

Youth screams and fades in the back of a child’s eye A lonely old wise guy These days are stealing away Find similar minds, coupled with fights Oh mechanic cut the brakes And you will become part of a role Imperfectly balanced but perfectly whole And you will hate art And say it’s a drag Oh, you will love routine Oh, you are going mad You can’t diagnose what works but know that But it does, it does, it does You never know when to let go Of the buzz, the buzz, the buzz The older you get The lesser you love The word becomes a question It becomes a bluff You’ll play these old rock songs to d**h You’ll be cast aside but you’ll be more adept At cutting through these cable ties Deep in my wrists My hands behind We won’t go quite or come gracefully It’s been a long time coming Ain’t it funny to see? Youth screams and fades decays over time There’s nothing left but you in my mind Scratch away the photo on your I.D. page This is not who you know This is but a strange limbo place that you frequent This is not supposed to make sense (This is really not supposed to make sense) This limbo place that you frequent This is not supposed to make sense This limbo place that you frequent This is not supposed to make sense This limbo place that you frequent This is not supposed to make sense (I think it’s important to mention at the end of this chapter This is not a hindsight This not a mirror at 1am This is not a soliloquy from a back room play This is not a bench on a public walkway This is not a defining moment This is) We won’t go quite or come gracefully It’s been a long time coming Ain’t it funny to see? Youth screams and fades decays over time There’s nothing left but you in my mind So here we stand 7.4 billion people Staring into the face of beautiful adversity A flash bang in defiance of mortality A rebellion A surrender Connected by wires but never more apart The golden age of not even trying Your last words but your first breath You won’t find your saviour on radio But maybe somehow it’ll make sense And in a universe of infinite moments, you will never feel this way again Want it Scream for it Here’s a toast to everyone we’ve met Every person Every connection Every conversation Every moment with your doubts in the night Every hand held Every kiss shared Every teenage romance Every drunk phone call Every mistake make Every fight lost Every hello Every goodbye Every cut Every drug Every touch Every f** And now at the end Fade to black Cue title Youth screams and fades
