Boys Are Crying

from Savage Youth by Sandy Hsu

/

lyrics

ripped jeans bruised knees
cold hands eighteen
dry lips bare feet
dreaming of the city

coughing up blood into the basin
watch it wash away down the drain
you have always been one to pick fights
your best friends brother gave you a black eye
being this reckless keeps you alive

she said the boys are crying in the bathroom
silver tears falling on the tiles
cosmic wonder children
craving some kind of attention
you and i share the same orbit
humans are abusive creatures of habit

chain smoke inside joke
heartache high hopes
warm breath love note
written on foggy windows

nobody’s ever going to see you cry
in these empty hallways you leave behind
don’t tell people whats on your mind
you’ll miss them when you say goodbye

she said the boys are crying in the bathroom
silver tears falling on the tiles
cosmic wonder children
craving some kind of attention
you and i share the same orbit
humans are abusive creatures of habit

never been so scared of growing old
it feels untouchable
when it feels like you know it all
you feel untouchable
and i’ve never been so scared of growing old
is this coming of age, do i want to know?
is this coming of age?
is this growing old?

she said the boys are crying in the bathroom
silver tears falling on the tiles
cosmic wonder children
craving some kind of attention
you and i share the same orbit
humans are abusive creatures of habit
