For The Young

Anyone in there
Knock, knock, knock
I think I see you
Among the shadows
They still cling to the wall
And your mind feeds them
You're the victim of like a meaning
Feeling sorry is your favourite feeling.

Why am I supposed to excuse you
Nod my head as if I'm amused
Give me a reason to lay down my guns
You said youth is only for the young.

You shut out the light
In your home
And all that remains
You let go of laughter
Someone left it there
Half a lifetime ago
Why am I supposed to excuse you
Nod my head as if I'm amused
Give me a reason to lay down my guns
You said youth is.

Why am I supposed to excuse you
Nod my head as if I'm amused
Give me a reason to lay down my guns
You said youth is only for the young.

Why am I supposed to excuse you
Nod my head as if I'm amused
You never gave up
You never begun
You said youth is only for the young.
