Youth Code For I Am Cursed
[Verse 1]
Pen to paper with invisible ink
Displaying honesty with nothing to show
Recanting the taste of the knife
A sweet to bury me forever
We're trapped in casings made of arsenic and inclinations
Indigence from the heart trudging on so unfulfilled
[Pre-Chorus]
I haven't been so much as thrilled to be alive
For I am cursed and holding on
To this semblance of a life
[Chorus]
I cannot shake
The jinx that's applied
The haunts that encroach
A rain that won't dry
I'm drinking my options
And dying of thirst
The shadows still lingering
For I am cursed
The lights have been dim lit
The candles burned wet
No shelter to house this
A plague that can't set
A scratch at this ulcer
A prayer that it bursts
A longing for solace
For I am cursed
[Verse 2]
Mouth to bottle with a hunger for regret
Paralyzed in an infant state
Our feelings benumbed by our consumptions
Every kiss a coat to peel and flake
Habituation a crutch which once brought solace
Now choleric as there is no other choice
Cauterize the wounds which exposures
Smoldering ache which begat the vice
[Pre-Chorus]
I've never felt such vapid space behind my eyes
For I am cursed and moving past
The orchestrator of these cries
[Chorus]
I cannot shake
The jinx that's applied
The haunts that encroach
A rain that won't dry
I'm drinking my options
And dying of thirst
The shadows still lingering
For I am cursed
The lights have been dim lit
The candles burned wet
No shelter to house this
A plague that can't set
A scratch at this ulcer
A prayer that it bursts
A longing for solace
For I am cursed
