Youthless

Sweet little thing
Red and white candy cane
Your innocence is bliss
Warheads were such a threat
I never tasted sourness
Until you sold me it

Funny but I never liked the candy
Worried bout the toothache in my mouth
While other kids kept smiling, acting happy
I had a sugar shut down

And they told me to smile a little
Act more civil
Don't bring people down
What happened to you little sweetheart?
In this world tore you apart
Glum in gloominess
I lost my youth
Cause I am youthless

Sugar-coated candy stains
Illusions of reality
They leave my soul abyss
Get toffee from a bag
Misunderstood generation gap
You can't help what is missed

Funny but I never liked the candy
Worried bout the toothache in my mouth
While other kids kept smiling, acting happy
I had a sugar shut down

And they told me to smile a little
Act more civil
Don't bring people down
What happened to you little sweetheart
In this world tore you apart
Glum in gloominess
I lost my youth
Cause I am youthless

How can you return an object that's damaged?
You could give me sugar, but what's the advantage?
Cause sugar is sweet, but it's a toxic filled bandage

And they told me to smile a little
Act more civil
Don't bring people down
What happened to you little sweetheart
In this world tore you apart
Glum in gloominess
I lost my youth
Cause I am youthless
