revolting youth with elevated minds
on a quest to find their true purpose
calm composures and steady hands
unaware that their palms were full of clay
that they had the power to shape who they'd become
with the ignorant assumption that time was on their side
they rode into the sunset careless and misguided
broken hearts, pieces scattered amongst the tears left behind
a generation consumed by their appearance
at war with themselves for
cigarettes burn between the two fingers needed to make peace
the adoption of patience will help shape the clay
that weighs heavy in the hands
of a revolting youth

a generation consumed by their appearance
at war with themselves for
cigarettes burn between the two fingers needed to make peace
the adoption of patience will help shape the clay
that weighs heavy in the hands
of a revolting youth
