Ancient Adolescents Lyrics

I'm alone in this sea of children
My glare meets their gaze
Faded future
If I could crawl inside
Their pimpled shells and hide
Relive the glory through new eyes

Dreams paralyzed
Let me feed
Let me breathe
Through your supple lungs
Speak with your naïve tongues
Rejoice in disgust

Will you be my host to this dying ghost?

I'm lonely
Will you hold me?
So sacred and holy

I want to feel your skin prickled from new pain
Before it fades, worn and stained

What doesn't kill me makes me sicker
I pray that I die that much quicker

But before I do
Let me bleed into you

Let our teeth gnash, our bodies thrash
Our virgin skin enraptured in trash

There's no bite to my teeth
No leaves in my wreath
I've wandered this earth
Seeking rebirth

Drink me in for all I am worth

Let me take on my new form
Share your flesh while it's wet and warm

If I could crawl inside
Your pimpled shells and hide
Relive the glory through new eyes

Dreams paralyzed
Let me feed
Let me breathe
Through your supple lungs
Speak with your naïve tongues
Rejoice in disgust

Dreams paralyzed
Let me feed
Let me breathe
Through your supple lungs
Speak with your naïve tongues
Rejoice in disgust

Will you be my host to this dying ghost?
Let me fester. Let me mold
Let me sink into your soul

Youth. Give me youth
Give me your first kisses
And I will give my last dying breath

Memories of lullabies
The thrill of being terrified
Child, let me be your parasite
