LYRICS

Youth is a strange matter, some have it all their lives

While others seem to have never been touched by its grace

Uncompromising defiance towards everything

Boundless optimism in the face of reality

Violently happy, desperately lost and so easily angry

CHORUS :

HARD TO HEAR THE BEAT THUMPIN ANY MORE

PASSION DIES WITH ACCEPTANCE OF LESS THAN GREAT

AND YOU START TO FIT IT NOT COMPLETELY

LIKE A STUPID SHADE OF GRAY X4

And then this new sense of responsibility

And the fear of the future makes it all turn to gray

Not disappeared but so tamed

CHORUS :

HARD TO HEAR THE BEAT THUMPIN ANY MORE

PASSION DIES WITH ACCEPTANCE OF LESS THAN GREAT

AND YOU START TO FIT IT NOT COMPLETELY

LIKE A STUPID SHADE OF GRAY X4
