Illuminated Youth

Sound checks leak through venue doors

Outside fans are waiting for the show

To start and guards to let them through

And everything once they're inside seems so exciting too

It's sparkling and blue

Now everything under the shining lights looks bright and new

Illuminated youth

Maybe you don't belong

You've gotta let go to pretend

Maybe you don't belong there's something for you

Maybe you need escape there's somewhere to go

Tomorrow's so far away

Sold out pre-sale barcode scans

Rush the stage to see the bands

They're screaming for another song from them

So step back before you fall harder again

Don't let them put up a wall inside your head

Restless legs restless days

Bored with the boxes always

PA's are speaking loud young ears frequent the sound

They're allowed to bruise picking what parts to use

But where their feet are is a longer floor

That lessens the chore

It's bigger a crowded view

Put tomorrow away
