When Youth Fades Away

I can hear the sound of summer

Steady days and mellow nights

Walking home along the metals

Someone shouts, I look around

I see the lonely faces in the crowd

Hibernating from the 18th

Back to sleep for a while

Hallucinations in my bedroom

Oh, how the sadness is alive

I see the lonely faces all around

Ooh, yeah

I feel it in my head, myself of old ain't coming back

I'm sad of all the gladness, hard to say I'll be alright

When youth fades away, I swear

I'm lost in the power of it all

I just wanna be myself

For a day

And in the misty mountains

I asked you if you'd hold my fucking hand

And all the lonely shadows

I hear the voices calling in my mind

Oh, yeah

I feel it in my head, myself of old ain't coming back

I'm sad of all the gladness, hard to say I'll be alright

When youth fades away, I swear

I'm lost in the power of it all

And I don't mind enough that I will

Hold my tongue, 'cause I will be alright

I swear, if not defeated

I want to go

I just wanna be myself

For a day

I feel it in my head, myself of old ain't coming back

I'm sad of all the gladness, hard to say I'll be alright

When youth fades away, I swear

I'm lost in the power of it all

I just wanna be myself

For a while

I wanna be myself with you

I swear, 'cause, darling, love is true

I want to live, I want to die

I wanna feel it

I wanted to be myself

I swear, I wanna feel it for a while
