For I Am Cursed
Youth Code Lyrics

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

I haven't been so much as thrilled to be alive
For I am cursed and holding on
To this semblance of a life

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 cant set
A scratch at this ulcer
A prayer that it bursts
A longing for solace
For I am cursed

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

I've never felt such vapid space behind my eyes
For I am cursed and moving past
The orchestrator of these cries

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 cant set
A scratch at this ulcer
A prayer that it bursts
A longing for solace
For I am cursed

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 cant set
A scratch at this ulcer
A prayer that it bursts
A longing for solace
For I am cursed

This band ended up like Death Grips to me: Sounded totally alien and unusual and now, they're the only thing I listen to.

YC and I can both thank Skinny Puppy for me finding this music. So refreshing to hear good sounds from a band that knows they will never go mainstream. Keep up the great work and I hope you tour with SP again, now that I know about you.

man tht sucks, Detroit was fun. Sold out and packed like sardines. At some point , Sarah called out some fucko in the front who was being an ass to those who were dancing. They werent being violent or anything just having a good time . She told him to stop or go to the back . He continued so she told the crowd to push him to the back and for them to come up front if they wanted to have fun. Eventually security came up and removed him , upon which she wished him a good night and told him to get the fuck out. George then said that the ironic part is that guy was the first person in line for the show. lol The crowd cheered and the show went on. Good fucking times man

I heard good things about this band & I'm not disappointed. Yes, there's an obvious SP influence but I can think of countless worse bands to be influenced by. Quality.

This is what passes for music now. It's not even sampling. It's just singing over the music to a track by The Faunts. So I can just go download and instrumental from NIN and sing over it and call it my own. Okay. Got it.
