Closure
Blood Youth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels like the weight of the universe
Is hanging over me
Nothing to do
And nothing to show
Let me tell you this is all i know
Push away the pain
Theres nothing left to say
I can't change the weather
Or future days
Is this getting better or will we stay the same?
My heart is close to everyone I see
This is what I call insanity
I press my hands against my ears
Drown out the noises that I fear
Sometimes I close my eyes
And think about those fucked up wasted years
And think about those
Fucked up wasted years
Can't sleep can't think with this weight
Upon me
My back is breaking theres nothing left to say
Find me
All I have
Does this hurt?
Im waiting here I push away the pain
Have you ever let yourself cave in?
Have you ever let yourself rely on anything
That exist
The damage is done
Why can't you see
This is all I ever was and who I'll always be
My heart is closed to everyone I see
Feels like the weight of the universe
Is hanging over me
Nothing to do
And nothing to show
Let me tell you this is all i know
I press my hands against my ears
Drown out the noises that I fear
Sometimes I close my eyes
And think about those fucked up wasted years
And think about those fucked up wasted years
My heart is still closed to everyone i see
Theres no pill for curing
What I'll always be
