Lyrics New West - Cult Of Youth

New West

Have mercy on their children for they play with idle hands
Their laughter is their folly and their statues never stand
The values of a man can never change
He yields them when he speaks his lover’s name
We took them from above
As bird with broken back
His scene was in the wind
His eggs had never hatched
How strange that she should know him
If only by a name
His scent was so peculiar
So fragile was his frame
He charmed them with the malice of a child
Whose dignity had since been running wild
He is the sunlight over you when crops are screaming rain
He is the willing servant of those in need of pain
A witness to the eyesight of the blind
He is a burning question in the mind
A whisper to a scream
As prelude to a dream
Remembrance to the lost
He’s come to melt the frost
With hatred in his eyes
And a love that never dies
His beauty never fades
Without it he decays
So pray the end comes quickly boy and sturdy up that spine
Just know that he has reached you with every glass of wine
He sullies you with reason and he tempts you with his glance
And kisses you with crimson just to lead you by the hand
Just know that he is at your door tonight
Just know that he is at your heels tonight
