"Requiem For Youth" lyrics

"Requiem For Youth"

My life's been abused and my mind is confused
Best must have passed by
So now I must die
Writing these words now, finding it hard
To tell you my problems, you'll just disregard

Yeah, to these words I write
Oh, lend me your ears just for tonight
Yeah

Love, it is something, could never understand
Alcohol, it seems now is all I demand
Deeper and deeper, depression set in
You don't understand now the way I have been

Yeah, to these words I write
Oh, lend me your ears just for tonight
Yeah

You say you'll pull through
You don't really care
To you I am scum
Just a flea in your hair
He pays you no money
The boss wants it all
Oh, answer him back
Redundant you fall, yeah
Redundant you fall

Oh, "Go on" they say now through rough and grim
They don't understand the state I am in
Oh, I'm lonely and cold now, got scars on my wrist
I know if I die I would not be missed

Yeah, to these words I write
Oh, lend me your ears just for tonight
Yeah

Been on my own now, I stop day and night
Or out on the street I get into a fight
Sorry for myself, yeah, maybe it's true
I'm cooped up in my room with nothing to do
Yeah

Now I'm unemployed
I blame it on them, but I cannot win
Holding the knife now to plunge in my chest
I ain't got the guts, maybe it's best
