YOUTH CODE - Live @ Hellfest 2022

HELLFEST!

What the fuck is up?

We're YOUTH CODE from Los Angeles, California,

Let's fuck this entire place to the ground.

CLAW / CRAWL

Second chances for none -only wasted time

Time crawls forward, grief slowly draws the line

Your warmth, my phantom limb

Life’s weight leaking in

What waits below, i’ll find out Words of hope, never leave my mouth

Death takes until the earth needs to eat

The balance of power, sitting just below my feet

Claws sink in, closer to the void

Claws sink in, closer to the void

We find our worth in the wounds of the dirt Discomfort only means I can feel

We find our worth in the wounds of the dirt

This reflection hides the weight of my burdens

We find our worth in the wounds of the dirt

Discomfort of a truth concealed

We find our worth in the wounds of the dirt

Every second this condition worsens

Wasted time

Wasted time

Crossed over to a hollow hold Introspective as a means of growing

Picked apart all the treasures from the shipwreck

Finding solace in a lack of knowing

Wrapped in silk and a gold embrace Barreled out to an absolute atrocity

Navigating through this hellish landscape Just to settle in eternal mediocrity

And as the flowers retreat into seed I stare jealous at decomposition

Within the wilt is a chance at rebirth A new bloom in a rising sun

We find our worth in the wounds of the dirt

Discomfort only means I can feel

We find our worth in the wounds of the dirt

This reflection hides the weight of my burdens

We find our worth in the wounds of the dirt

Discomfort of a truth concealed

We find our worth in the wounds of the dirt

Every second this condition worsens

Tangled in it, I lost my grip

I crawl back

I lost myself yet I am clawing clawing I lost myself yet I am clawing back

I lost myself yet I am clawing clawing I lost myself yet I am clawing back

I lost myself yet I am clawing clawing I lost myself yet I am clawing back

I lost myself yet I am clawing clawing I lost myself yet I am clawing back

Hands where the fuck is up!

TO BURN YOUR WORLD

Absorbing the reflection of another’s mirror image

Cracked glass gnashed by depraved attempt

Commended by mindless plebs surrounding

This paper mache perception

Holds no weight to the pantheons before you

Burn, burn, burn To burn your world

Burn, burn, burn To burn your world

Burn, burn, burn To burn your world

A fire has been lit A ritual has begun

A fire has been lit Let the flames of your life engulf you

I stand watch with the fires of a thousand raids

Laying quiet behind my tongue

No amount of smiles will expiate your doings

But the stars will see substance And out a muzzle as I laugh

The purveyor of true paths

The purveyor of true paths

Burn, burn, burn To burn your world

Burn, burn, burn To burn your world

Burn, burn, burn To burn your world

Fucking right Hellfest!

PUZZLE

Constant determent from what I'd like to be

A claw lodged in the throat of this anxiety

Swirling colors on broken skin Haunted hollow with no way to rescind

Infected as the gavel slammed Case closed- I've thrown my life away

The smoke has let up and scattered us a path

With dust and fragments, of a former wrath

Aching for shelter, this tangled crooked soul

Solace regained in loosing all control

Swirling colors on broken skin Haunted hollow with no way to rescind

Infected as the gavel slammed Case closed- I've thrown my life away

I've thrown my life away

Birthed Once in Pain Unable to Retract

Symptoms of failed dreams While keeping all intact

While keeping all intact

Let's go fuck this place up!

I've thrown my life away I've thrown my life away

I've thrown my life away I've thrown my life away

I've thrown my life away I've thrown my life away

I've thrown my life away I've thrown my life away

BURNER

How soon comes the last time ever? Beyond ineffable and nothing gets better

Unbecoming just a miserable subject Apathetic as an underlying side effect

Spanning time with lack of purpose I want so badly just to feel

We dig, we dig deeper to the core Eternal sleep has such appeal

God's will Falling away

Pain grows, it breaks a part of me

Inherit A damage

Dismissed, it takes that part of me

It breaks a part of me

Pulled back like the ash on a cigarettе

Burnt up and crushed down just the same

Disposablе and as easy forgotten I'm your relief to circumvent the pain

Statements need validity And my pain needs an identity

Hold myself up Just to make myself the enemy

These worlds hold no value But the slope they paint is steep

Make them feel my pain When I'm choking six feet deep

Pulled back like the ash on a cigarette

Burnt up and crushed down just the same

Disposable and as easy forgotten I'm your relief to circumvent the pain

Fuck yeah!

ANAGNORISIS

Luminescent stains of the wasp splayed so yellow and benign

Never had a fighting chance

The true definition of a sad state of affairs

Pregnant with hope

A fever running hot against the wind

Only to end up

Painted thin against the glass against the frame

Feeling aimless to an end

I hope this glance is a trigger for you An urge with couldn't subside

Reflection of every seedy desire Cannonading through placid eyes

The first venture

A meddling tepid toe dip towards a pulse

Seeking danger seemed so modest

We lost sight as the tensions thickened

Aquiescing to carnal thought

Each furtive letter a crumbling brick

Peeled back the wings of the crippled insect

Blindly shattered in one fell swoop

This hand grenade detonates with the pinpull of truth

I hope this glance is a trigger for you An urge with couldn't subside

Reflection of every seedy desire Cannonading through placid eyes

This is a trigger This is despair

These eyes are poision A sad state of affairs

This is a trigger This is despair

These eyes are poision A sad state of affairs

This is a trigger This is despair

These eyes are poision A sad state of affairs

Fuck yeah Hellfest!

SHIFT OF DISMAY

As the sands of time fills the hourglass

The lines weighing on our face as the days pass

Panic setting in, our mortality

A picture-perfect reminiscence of what used to be

Like a car crash, like a car crash

The coiled serpent seared away by the sun
