"Young Offender" lyrics

"Young Offender"

Pictures of an image of a person who could not be blamed
You are a colour and you are a number
We need a sanction to see one another
If I keep my distance in the season of this slender hell
It's because of the need to live off one another
Go home, young offender, and stay undercover

We're busy running out of time
(Whatever it takes, I will make you mine)
I'll take the future from your hands
(With all the things I've never had, I'll commit the perfect crime)

We're strong, we do our thing, let the world cry, watch the birds sing
Give me the freedom, I need to recover
Words cannot heal when a line is your lover
Wind howls in my chamber like an angel (like an angel)
You are a colour and you are a number
Go home, young offender, and stay undercover

We're busy running out of time
(Whatever it takes, I will make you mine)
I'll take the future from your hands
(With all the things I've never had, I'll commit the perfect crime)
We're busy running out of time
(Whatever it takes, I will make you mine)
I'll take the future from your hands
(With all the things I've never had, I'll commit the perfect crime)

We're busy running out of time
(Whatever it takes, I will make you mine)
I'll take the future from your hands
(With all the things I've never had, I'll commit the perfect crime)
We're busy running out of time
(Whatever it takes, I will make you mine)
I'll take the future from your hands
(With all the things I've never had, I'll commit the perfect crime)
