Sleep divides a pain, numbs the boredom, bleeds from the inside

My face is gravity-strained, an icon briefcase, comfortably dumb

Sucking out the youth, sucking out the youth from my veins

Sucking out the youth, sucking out the youth from my veins

Denied, decaying days, high blood pressure, fifth cardiac arrest

Ray Bans protect from UV rays, my faith a weapon through impotence

Sucking out the youth, sucking out the youth from my veins

Sucking out the youth, sucking out the youth from my veins

Every morning I look in the mirror and I shriek with horror

Sucking out the youth

Worked my life away

A self-important ideal royalty

Spouse smothered in bruises

Dead before my years

Sucking out the youth

Sucking out the youth, sucking out the youth from my veins
