about

Youth Ink longs for the naivety of younger years. This is an ode to all the hopeful belief, the reckless energy, that got lost, hidden or transformed along the way.

lyrics

Slipping back into my skin, lost forever
Dusting off the time machine for worse or better
Trick the truth to realign, worth reviving
Make amends or redesign the inner lining

All that youth ink spilling
All those words meant, so true so innocent
All that youth ink spilling
Now turned into scar tissue

Realise remote control’s been taking over
Reenact the same old role as I’m supposed to
I know I can do better than this
There must be middle ground
Even if I’m gonna have to insist
You tie me up and hold me down

All that youth ink spilling
All those words meant, so true so innocent
All that youth ink spilling
Now turned into scar tissue

Stop bothering me there is no switch to undo
Long gone day I wish I’d never got into you
I have the feeling there is a ghost in my room
Collecting pieces, causing an itch in my soul tattoo
