So young, so light,
so free of fright.
Not very shy
to be alive.
We all have our vices
all kept in vain.
We keep them intact
to take away pain.
But darling...
Dig a little deeper,
what's really going on?
Are these really friends you're with
at the crack of dawn?
Short-lived stories,
a series of sin,
heavenly fantasies
enraged from within.
Sniff harder, drink more;
distractions galore.
But don't cry when
they're not here anymore.
To use, be used;
what hope you seek...
Youthful, confused
what fine defeat.
It hurts, it burns...
Like ice, it numbs.
What else can youth bring
than fear of what you've become?
