Maybe I don't understand why I'm wasting away
And I try to recall being breathless
We are young, we're afraid, we are out of control
We are safe from our names and our violence

I don't care if you show it but it's good to know
I have learnt to be patient but I used to hope I'd let it go

I don't understand why you're holding us back
I have severed the ache, I am failing
We are young, we're repressed, we will try to be brave
We are dead in our eyes but we're faithful

I've seen it, it's all I know
