Waste Lyrics

We can't change the outcome, the eventual end to everything we know
Powerless to stop the ebb and flow of the hardened rains we gathered
Humankind will reap what we have sewn
The depressing waltz we all live by, our pallid history
Will result in what we've paid for; The wages of humanity
At the end of the line, bodies give up souls
Running out of time. This is coming to a close
Curtains close at the end of the road
Sins unatoned by the Love we didn't know

Give me the world for what it is
Or nothing at all
Unsheltered from the awful truth
We don't know what we think we do The minds of foolish men closed up behind our narrow heads
Assuming we know everything there is
Never questioning the reason we exist
We'll never give up our swinging at the wind
Building up our altar to tear it down again
Open your eyes and disconnect your mind
From the powers who profit from feeding you these lies

Give me the world for what it is
Or nothing at all
Unsheltered from the awful truth
We don't know what we think we do

This world is wasting away
And it could happen today

This world is wasting away
And it will happen
