Honest Youth Video (MV)

Devil's hand upon the reins
You come up sweating, lost and lame
Mud up to your knees again, bit between your teeth
Buried in the bitter taste
The blood rush of that steeple chase
When you barely recognize your face
Begging just to breathe
You shrug a shoulder

Leaning on your so-so posh friends
Don't know how a good day ends
Crying on the carousel
Flat-buzzed you fake it just as well as i did
Gimme deron jones and the dap kids
Caught tripping and i hid so well
The truth is honest youth can tell

The sunlight falls upon your face
Your perfect skin without a trace
Of sorrow every man must face, i feel it in my bones
So i carved my name into the ground
That when your head is hanging down
And you're trembling with every sound
You'll know you're not alone
You shrug a shoulder

Leaning...don't know...crying...flat buzzed...
Gimme shady lane and lover's spit
...honest youth can tell

You don't have to hide from me
I know what it's like to be
Gaslit goosestep paper-chasing
Nihilista mind erasing
Like you're stuck between what you know and what you see
All your horses turn to carousels
The truth is, the truth is
That the school lunch catches in your throat little brother
The flag pin ain't sticking to your coat little brother
The prayer you swear you prayed ain't coming true
I know I've been lonely too

The years pile up upon your back
Tied up with string and painted black
On a wire without an inch of slack in the money colored rain
But you dream of mountains, yellow sun,
White glacier melt, blue river run
The stars come out and every one is burning just for you
You shrug a shoulder

Leaning on your so-so posh friends
Don't know how a good day ends
Crying on the carousel
Flat buzzed, you fake it just as well as i did
Hate the game but i played it
Caught tripping and i hid so well
The truth is honest youth can tell
