Sick Skinned

youth code lyrics from their self titled lp and a place to stand ep
(requested by trashcvlt)
LET THE SKY BURN
Tears begin to fall
It’s not safe to ignore
Your true North’s magnetic pull
Pushed to the side
Trial by fire, suicide
So let the sky burn
We’ve hung our heads for too long
“Here’s to the days”: when we were young
“Here’s to the nights” we came undone
So let the sky burn
We’ve been ashamed for too long
I believed in love, I believed in us
I believed in hate, I believed in trust
I believed, in nothing… for too long
So let the sky burn
Suicide

FIRST & LAST
I’ve given up
A causeless calloused bag of bones
Dug my grave a thousand times
It’s never deep enough for home
I’ve had it all
The burden of fair weathered lines
Carved in water, words of sand
Unknown plots behind the guise
The clasp is undone
Just like the first time
These fists will be clenched
Won’t be the last time
An eye drawn and aimed
To your world at it ends
I knew that moment I could never miss
Nature’s divide
Will adorn the one who leads
Living breathing as the wolf
Never flocking as the sheep
I am a rock
Against a glass cased house
And in this moment of truth
I’ve come to shatter you down
-
CARRIED MASK
Shining light through flickered flame
Know this night won’t be the same
This is just a warning
My vengeance. a feeling you’ll never shake
I’ll burn my name, name
Name, name
Into your eyes
I’ll burn my name right into your eyes
To see you broken
Lying, waiting, dealt to the floor
I can hardly speak
My pulse is burning
And i just can’t fucking wait
And you’ll never be the same
Whichever mask you carry
Whatever name you wear yourself
I will hunt you down
With red eyes livid and a cold dead stare
-
“DESTROY” SAID, SHE
My hand in your pocket
Your eyes to the sea
This pure heart kissed the target
“Destroy” said, she.
Lie through your grey eyes
Sleep all alone
Sheets of ice like plates of glass
In this bed of snow
The days will grow longer
Steps will fall softer
The current keeps on drifting
“Destroy” said, she
Lie through your grey eyes
Sleep all alone
Sheets of ice like plates of glass
In this bed of snow
-
REST IN PISS
Every liquid lie you’ve ever told
All of the fucking promises
Vomiting out of a throat I’d love to put my fucking hand around
And choke to fucking death
I’ve never felt so numb and dumb
Pack my nose with powdered lies
And wake me up when all of my friends
Are dead like me
Piss on your fucking words
Piss on every fucking word
Wake me up never
When all of my friends
Are dead like me
-
WHAT IS THE ANSWER
Bend, don’t break
The wounds you hide
Fence away
For something you won’t find
What is the answer
Flush and burst
Cut to my ends
Tear it down
Force it to begin
Hard, hard to take
Ripped at the seams
Some ports deep
Forget it at best
Push it all back
-
NO ANIMAL ESCAPES
What could love you
Accept the broken cogs behind your eyes
Break the glass, break the glass
This will take you in hindsight
After every drop of snow has dried and gone palid
Will you, too fade away?
We live to avoid death
We exist to avert being unseen
No animal escapes
Hand in hand
Against everything and all there is
Wrapping your hate around fingers, as gifts
Sealed off from this world
No animal escapes, no not this time
-
DISTORTED VIEWS
Reach for the sky
Trip on a lie
Stumble for the thousandth time
Distorting your views
Distorting your views
Distorting your views
Distorting your views
Distorting your views
Distorting your views
Distorting your views
Distorting your views
Distorting your views
Distorting your views
Distorting your vie…….

SICK SKINNED
Sick down to the skin
I’m licking my wounds, bleeding them thin
Sick down to the skin
I’m licking my wounds paper thin
Sick down to my heart
I’m building you up just to tear you apart
Sick down to the skin
I’m licking my wounds, bleeding them thin
Sick down to my heart
I’m building you up just to tear you apart
