[Lyrics]

 

I waste another night

Hoping for words I'll never get to hear

Stare blankly

Start to feel numb I silently lie here

The weight of the things that I've never attempted

Is crushing me from the inside

And in spite of the friendships I haven't amended

The lonliness still makes me cry

 

Another empty day

Hollow, and faded, awake

Alone with my emptyness, feel so numb

Til I close my eyes, then drift away

 

A requiem plays in my head

A silent mourning for words that were said

Stumbling painfully

Lost in the journey

Took the wrong road

And now no one can hear me

 

Scream, please, help

Fear, can't quell

Can't find the energy, feel so numb

Let me close my eyes and drift away

 

A funeral I'll never see

The consequence stains my belief

Yes it will, yes it will

The silence will speak

And they'll all say their piece

The pale hand offers no warmth or redemption

Cold comfort won't bring more than pure trepidation

 

Don't leave me here

Conscience unclear

My skeletons claim me with little resistance

I close my eyes tight and I pray

Wasted Time
