Saw Gang of Youths live last night and afterwards one of the people I went with said they'd "never been to such an 'old man gig' before" and I was like "uhhh what do you mean, this crowd is super young" >.> Anyway, here, in defence of my old man band tastes, all the below are Gang of Youths <3

you in everything

I still need you in everything

---

The places you have walked, I consider holy ground

---

'Cause I will look for you every time

the angel of 8th ave.

I wanna lay me down
And be lovеr of the year
In this strange new town
This strange hemisphere

---

You called each of my sorrows by name

forbearance

All that I wanted was something to save me

Fear and Trembling

And I waited on forever, but forever never came
Just a latent sense of loyalty to the things I love in vain
And now I’m terrified of loving 'cause I’m terrified of pain

---

So light ‘em up, those shadows in my blood

What Can I Do If The Fire Goes Out?

Do I throw my clothes in the fire?
Do I throw my hopes in the fire?
Do those things grow in the fire
Or burn just to keep me alive?

Achilles Come Down

Hurt and grieve but don’t suffer alone
Engage with the pain as a motive

---

see how the most dangerous thing is to love

Persevere

I used to wanna be important, now I just wanna be alive
And without fear
You've got to persevere

Let Me Down Easy

You want someone to want you for who you are
I want someone to try, or let me down easy, easy tonight

---

But hey, I’m still young and it’s gonna be okay
I got solipsism, baby, and I brought lemonade

The Heart Is A Muscle

'Cause the heart is a muscle
And I wanna make it strong

The Good Fight

Well, I am young and taking arms
Against a sea of troubles of my own
