Game Over 03:40
This is the beginning of the end, the rise of our demise. A lost generation with empty eyes. So, hold on tight ‘cause we are going down. Such a shame, we lost the game and you fucked it up for the rest of us. Game over! This is the beginning of the end, the rise of our demise! A lost generation with hungry eyes. So, hold on tight ‘cause we are going down. It's safe to say we've lost our way and you fucked it up for the rest of us. We're going down. Show me love. Show me trust. Show me honesty!

I cannot forget the past, I'm taking it with me. The memories will last, forever digging deep. I'll keep your secrets safe, the shame and the blame. The pain will remain, reminding us how it feels to be alive. What it means to strive. No one said it will be easy. It's not easy. Celebrate life, celebrate death, celebrate regret. Celebrate life, celebrate death celebrate the tears shed. Bye-bye youth! No we can't accept the truth. We are getting older and we are getting colder. This is a promise I'll keep your secrets safe, the shame and the blame. Bye-bye youth!

My hands are tired and my mind is weak, I can barely find the words to speak. My heart is frozen, I stay unbroken and sadly that's the path I've chosen. Death and silence are my mentors. Pain is my creator. I'm ready to die! Nothing and no one can bring me happiness and nothing and no one can save me from myself. Take this life I don't deserve to survive. Show me something real, something I can feel. Nothing and no one can save me from myself. Death and silence are my mentors. Pain is my creator. I'm ready to die! I pick myself up from the cold ground. I am refound. I'm leaving this place with a smile on my face. I'm ready to die. My hands are tired and my mind is weak, I can barely find the words to speak. My heart is frozen I stay unbroken and sadly that's the path I've chosen. Death and silence are my mentors. Pain is my creator. I'm ready to die!

War 02:35
Bound by life and bound by death, caught up in the middle of this bloodshed. Was it me or was it you? Who made the choice? It wasn't me and it wasn't you. Help me! I have the need to destroy myself. There's no light in this desert of despair I walk alone – an endless nightmare. Wishing it will be the last thing I see. Wishing it will be the end of this land. Help me, before it's too late. I gotta take control, I gotta let it go! Take control. I gotta let it go. I gotta learn how to say no! Bound by life and bound by death, caught up in the middle of this bloodshed. Was it me or was it you? Who made the choice? Help me!

The Spirit 01:36
Can you hear the melody of the streets? Can you hear the broken beats? Can you hear me? I will never change. This is who I am and I will never be like you. I can hear the melody of the streets calling me. I feel my youth slipping away, with each day it’s getting harder to stay but I can promise you one damn thing I'll keep the spirit young and the guitars will ring. Ring! Ring! Ring! I'll keep the spirit young and the guitars will ring!

Forever Rain 03:05

Stop! 02:23
Stop! Drop! Don't take the shot. Love is what we got. How can we learn how to live when death is surrounding. We got so much more to give. I'll continue fighting. I know everything's at stake but we need to take a break. Put yourself in the shoes of the dying, enough with the lying. Compassion! Think of all the lost and the broken. Think of all the truths unspoken. The beaten and the damned. Just give them a chance. Stop! Drop! Don't take the shot. Love is what we got.

I got fear, I got greed, I got anything you need. I got love, I got fire, anything you may desire. No, I'm not for sale. I swear, I don't love you anymore. So, you can leave the keys and use the back door. Would you dare, would you dare to tell the truth? What you did, what you saw and the respect you didn't show?

K. 02:46
I gotta confess, lately, baby, I've been crazy. There is so much stress. I lost it all. I lost control and I lost you. When everything falls apart, you release we've been living a lie. Don't try to fix it. We already jinxed it. Believe me, don't try. I lost it all and I lost control. Don't wanna let you go. Can't let you go. Listen! I'll try to do my best and forget about the rest. Just put me through a test. I'll try to do my best. Lately, baby, I don't feel so good. Lately, baby, I don't feel at all. I just don't feel. Forever darkness. Forever rain. My heart still beats your name.
10.
True Colors 03:47
Wake up! Wake up! This isn't a drill, it's shooting to kill and we are the victims. I refuse to lose so much time and I believe it's not a crime to wish the best for yourself. I'm moving forward. I'm growing stronger! How many times? How many lies I have left behind. I refuse to lose so much time and that's the path I choose I'll take what's mine. True colors shine bright when you're sincere. True colors shine bright when you don't fear yourself.

about

"Bye-Bye Youth is a record about accepting life as it is. It's about losing important people. It's about embracing pain and hardship. It's about the way we all slowly grow up and change but still somehow remain the same. And most importantly, it's about pushing forward and doing your best no matter what. It's for all of us and all of you! Bye-bye youth..."

"Bye-Bye Youth" is the third full-length studio album by the Bulgarian melodic hardcore band Expectations. The record is available on vinyl, CD and digitally via Straight From The Heart Records.
