Distorted Youth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Worship the ground that you'll never walk on, feed all your children with leftover meat
Blood in my lungs from words left unspoken, forgive not, forget not
My parents buried my crib, six feat underground
Always taught me to start where I intended to finish
Finish? I'm just getting fucking started
There were wolves among sheep sharpening their teeth
In the twilight and the low light of my youth
Shake off the dirt and start leading the way
Shake off the dirt and start bleeding
We are not the guilty, we are not to blame
We just chose to guide ourselves, even if that goes against the grain
I walk as proof, not as a slave
Cast me your idol stares
Don't let it hide beneath your face
Release me from your prayers
No static, just wade through broken walls
Cast out your idol's crown
A white noise in this clearing vision
Release yourself, release me
Release me from your prayers
Distorted youth, unwanted truth
Shake off the dirt and start leading the way
Shake off the dirt and start bleeding
We are not the guilty, we are not to blame
We just chose to guide ourselves, even if that goes against the grain
I walk as proof, not as a slave
Cast me your idol stares
Don't let it hide beneath your face
Release me from your prayers
No static, just wade through broken walls
Cast out your idol's crown
A white noise in this clearing vision
Release yourself, release me
Release us
Ripping out the pages, tearing down the walls
Ripping out the pages, what was black is now white
No longer static, just one way to be there's no wrong or right
