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
