Requiem For Youth

Witchfinder General


My life's been abused, 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 

To these words I write 
Oh lend me your ears just for tonight. 

Love it is something could never understand 
Alcohol it seems is all I demand. 

Deeper and deeper depression sets in. 
You don't understand now the way I have been. 

To these words I write 
Oh lend me your ears just for tonight. 

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 

Redundant you fall 

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

To these words I write 
Oh lend me your ears just for tonight 

I'm 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 fuck all 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
