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 bar-code 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
