Don't want to be an actor pretending on the stage
Don't want to be a writer with my thoughts out on the page
Don't want to be a painter 'cause everyone comes to look
Don't want to be anything where my life's an open book

What I don't know I don't like
What I don't like I don't want
Waht I don't want I waste
I hypnotize with alibis and fingers made of lead
I sympathize with frozen eyes turned inwards in my head
I realize to my demise it's better left unsaid
That columns crash down endlessly and I will end up dead
I theorize i'm on the rise
But all I do is fall
I vicimize my love of life
I've seen and done it all
Ready steady stop
Hurry up and wait
The tick tick ticking of the clock
Delineates your fate
What I don't see I don't know
What I don't know I don't want
What I don't want I don't need
What I don't need I don't feel
What I don't fee I don't say
What I don't say I don't do
What I don't do I don't like
What I don't like I waste
Ready steady go
Finish up your plate
Before you even realize
It's gonna be too late
I don't know what I see
I don't want what I know
I don't need what I want
I don't feel what I need
I don't say what I feel
I don't do what I say
I don't like what I do
Who will be their voice
Who will hear their cries
The ones who cannot speak
As we dehumanize
Incarcerated innocents
Their sentience ignored
Slaughtered by the millions
For the pseudo-carnivores
What a waste of our time
Of our land of our humanity
Blood-spattered carcass it wets your appetite
Don't you fucking get it
Eating flesh it isn't right for you
For me our children the world
Destroy their machines
Burn their staughterhouses to the ground
Now it's time for us all to defend
The oppressed
Meat is murder
Still we consume the dead and rotting
Products of violence
We've got to make that change
Talk to me
I haven't said a word in days
Please talk to me
And I can tell you of my ways
In which I numb myself
In which I numb myself
Drink with me
I will talk of things I want
To do in life but know I can't
Find the energy, find the energy
Find the energy, find the energy
Time has come
Come to me at such a speed
And given me the time I need
To waste
Waste on you, I've got time to waste on you
Waste on you, I've got time to waste on you
Waste on you, I've got time to waste on you
On you
On and on and on and on with you
Waste on you, I've got time to waste on you
Waste on you, I've got time to waste on you
On you
On and on and on and on with you
On and on and on and on with you
On and on and on and on with you
Your mother came up to me
She wanted answers only she should know
Only she should know
It wasn't easy to deal
With the tears that rolled down her face
I had no answers 'coz I didn't even know you
But these words
They can't replace
The life you, the life you waste
How could you paint this picture?
Was life as bad as it should seem?
That there were no more options for you
I can't explain how I feel
I've been there many times before
I've tasted the cold steel of my life crashing down before me
But these words
They can't replace
The life you, the life you waste
Did daddy not love you?
Or did he love you just too much?
Did he control you?
Did he live through you at your cost?
Did he leave no questions for you to answer on your own?
Well fuck them, and fuck her
And fuck him, and fuck you
For not having the strength in your heart to pull through
I've had doubts, I have failed
I've fucked up, I've had plans
Doesn't mean I should take my life with my own hands
But these words
They can't replace
The life you, the life you waste
But these words
They don't replace
I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time that's been stolen
When I was carrying you
It seems I've tripped and I've fallen
Don't want no one to ache
Oh to be drunk and forgetful
To get out of this unscathed
Oh to be free and inhuman
Some may say I love to play
When the chance is there to take
I'm moppin' up the floor
From messy recipes of romance
I'm packin' up the pots
Too many cooks in the kitchen
Some may say I love to let a good thing go to waste
I let it go to waste
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
Let a good thing go to waste a good thing go to waste
I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time that's been stolen
When I was carrying you
Go unnoticed
Let the freedom wash away
Losing focus
The pretense is second nature
It's a broken life that i cling to
Trying to make right
I feel dismay just like you do
I feel decayed
So find me a way to leave this wasted life
Behind me (this wasted life)
Find me a way to leave this wasted life
Behind me after all
Yes i see you
Surrounded by the hopeless
When they need you
You're much too good and bloated
By the hopeless life that you cling to
Try to make right
I feel disdain just like you do
I feel decayed
So find me a way to leave this wasted life
Behind me (this wasted life)
Find me a way to leave this wasted life
Behind me after all
Go away
Go away
And just leave me here
Just leave me here
Just leave me here
So find me a way to leave this wasted life
Behind me (this wasted life)
Find me a way to leave this wasted life
Behind me after all
I see these people everyday. These zombie like lab rats just wasting away. And what I see it's not for me. Your really not living you're barely existing. I'm trying hard to think for myself. And I won't waste away. I'm living for today. Your rules were meant to break. And I won't waste away. Your really not living you're barely existing. And luxury is what you make it. It's what you enjoy and what you take for granted. I can't agree with how we're acting. There's too much going on and there's not enough reaction. But I've been there myself I've been there before. You can't close your eyes its not gonna go away. The world won't stop turning without you. You're rules were meant to break. Your really not living your barely existing. I won't waste away.
It's not necessary to say what you prefer
A perfect lightweight future, nothing to despair
I feel your happy-minded bitter patiency
You chose the easiest way and call it reality
You think that all you own is everything that counts
Your life has been worthwhile
The sense has not been found
I raise my hands, enjoy the need
Of all the thirsty minds awaiting light to see
I guess you're wasting me
I see the light and want to know
How this can be the way to go
Your perfect life and history
Is really not attracting me
See your mindless strange affection
To manifest your self-deception
I can stand your decency
I guess you are wasting me
So I knew you were fakin'
About your dreams
Because when you're wakin'
Everything's what it seems
I know you've got roses
You wanta throw on my grave
But all the time you
You can't see doves reign
Oh, doesn't it hurt
To see me reachin'
Words and excuses lame
While it's time for leavin'
So mama don't hit the fruit jar
I'd rather see ya hit me
Just 'cause you go too far
And I'll lose what's real
You'll turn out fine babe
Like father like son
I was wasted at the forkroads
I'm too old to run
Oh, doesn't it hurt
To see me reachin'
Words and excuses lame
While it's time for bleedin'
So if it's pity I need
Or rejection I bleed
'Cause I never
'Cause I never
'Cause I never
Asked for nothing
Yea, so mama don't hit the fruit jar
I'd rather see ya hit me
Just 'cause you go too far
And I'll lose what's real
Oh, doesn't it hurt
To see me reachin'
Words and excuses lame
Barbiturates and alcohol.
Crashing through your veins like wrecking ball.
Amphetamine and narcotic blur.
Morality.
Crash and burn.
Pathetic waste of a life.
Human mistake a liar.
Only do enough to get by.
Excrement of society.
Master - deceit.
You deserve to die.
Bllod sucker.
Exess.
Animal. Low life, low life, low life, no life.
Begging like a starving dog.
Stealing like a weasel no remorse.
At all.
Vindicate your soul not an easy thing.
Mark your prey.
There's no stopping.
Judas.
Prey upon naive.
Unfortunate.
Victims, sriking like a snake.
Try to find a way to justify.
Dans le port d'Amsterdam
Y a des marins qui chantent
Les r
I sit here all day long, singing the same song
A page in the scrapbook is where I belong
What's the point in getting out
Conversing is just plain wrong
I once took a day job, but that didn't last long
When I worked the counter, we somehow got robbed
Leave it or take it, 'cause this life right here is right where I belong
It's no secret – I'm a waste
A clear misuse of space
Take me back to my own happy, imaginary place
Yeah, please – let me rest in peace
I sit here all day long, beating myself at pong
My mom pays the rent – how could I go wrong
I can't acknowledge that some people make it after all
I try being social, but that takes a toll on me
Sooner or later, I'm gonna' explode
Nothing beats solitude, who cares if you're nothing
Nothing at all
It's no secret – I'm a waste
A clear misuse of space
Take me back to my own happy, imaginary place
Yeah, please – let me rest in peace
(verse 1)
In my effort to be real
You have often had to peel
Away the solid layering
of bitterness and spite
Then I'm left with nothing more
Than the child I was before
Unpretentous wandering to the truth
(chorus)
So come and take away the fear that binds me
Let me leave this world behind me
I don't want to fake
every moment I'm awake
So come and take away the fear that binds me
Let me leave this world behind me
I don't want to make
every moment I'm awake
a waste, a waste...
(verse 2)
Now it's easy to percieve
Cause it's hard enough to breathe
and never taste the innocence--the essence of your love
Every day the feeling grows
Everything that's in me knows
That you're unmistakedly
arrayed with the truth
(bridge)
It's growing, It's blowing,
I see it, I feel it
a Siren, a Torment,
Another time for us to say
Another way, another song to sing
another day, another voice for me
to say, to you
Punch to the face
Makes you hit the floor
Such a disgrace
And you come back for more
What do you waste?
What do you score?
A wicked embrace
A willful rapport
Stuck in the waste
Caught in the waste
Stuck in the waste
Caught in the waste
Blood on the face
Makes you hit the floor
Such a disgrace
And you come back for more
What do you waste?
What do you score?
A wicked embrace
A willful rapport
Stuck in the waste
Caught in the waste
Stuck in the waste
Caught in the waste
Stuck in the waste
Caught in the waste
Stuck in the waste
Caught in the waste
Stuck in the waste
Stuck in the waste
Stuck in the waste
Stuck in the
So much waste, so much at stake
And once again I’m losing faith
We shout demands with idle hands
So much to say, no where to stand
From where I stand...
The world needs more than good intentions
It’s easier said than done...
(All your utopian dreams and political schemes
and false promises do little to bridge the gap
between the haves and the have-nots...)
So much easier said than done... ONE ON ONE
I don’t think that I’m asking too much
I’m looking for a change that I can see and touch
So much easier said than done... ONE ON ONE
All this Progress will be thrown away
If we can’t follow through with what we say
don’t waste your time
it is never i good time for me
say what you want
not what you think you might mean
you see in others whatever you want to believe
you touched my head and spinned me round ya, see?
don’t waste yourself on me
don’t waste yourself on me –
no –
where are the christians, the lovers, the gods, romantics and poets –
they’ve promised the world
where is the lover you never explored
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy love
The sun so bright it leaves no shadows
Only scars carved into stone
On the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes
You run like river, on like a sea
You run like a river runs to the sea
And in the world a heart of darkness
A fire zone
Where poets speak their heart
Then bleed for it
Jara sang, his song a weapon
In the hands of love
You know his blood still cries
From the ground
It runs like a river runs to the sea
It runs like a river to the sea
I don't believe in painted roses
Or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
I'll see you again
When the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red
Over One Tree Hill
We run like a river
Run to the sea
We run like a river to the sea
And when it's raining
Raining hard
That's when the rain will
Break my heart
Raining...raining in the heart
Raining in your heart
Raining...raining to your heart
Raining, raining...raining
Raining to your heart
Raining...raining in your heart
Raining in your heart..
To the sea
Oh great ocean
Oh great sea
Run to the ocean
Run to the sea
Is your heart being wasted, or do you know what true love means?
Is your sole lonely cause you put your faith in the king of things?
Friend, how long will you suffer.
Where are your friends to dry your tears?
Is it worth it to have "control", or do you spend your time cowering in fear?
All that I desire is to see that you find truth.
And that you know that He is always there for you
I am only one but I found it.
Trying to breathe, gasping for air
Each breath shot, with needles of pain
The darkness is creeping, your vision is blurring
Jaws of death clamping tight on your life
Withering flesh, leathery and slack
Disgusting grey folds, that cling to your back
Liver spots forming, blistering and black
Scab-riddled lips, bleeding and cracked
Premature aging, gnarling your form
Twisting, distorting, ravaged by decay
Sunken eyes stare in horrific disbelief at the vile twisted face in the mirror
(Chorus)
Weakness spreads with incredible pace
Bowels given way, your trousers disgraced
Arthritic fingers used as the brush
Painting the walls with your brown fetid mush
(repeat Withering flesh...)
Memories fading as your mind starts to fail
Heartbeat slows to an aching throb
Vision now gone, limbs are all numb
Blood-laced mucus coughed up in globs
(repeat chorus)
Lost and deranged, mind crawling with fear
As panic sets in, an unacceptable fate
Scream if you can, it may be your last,
Don't try to remind me
Why should we waste our time
The light from our sunset will
Burn my eyes
And I'll lay awake sleepless
And wish I could dream about
Something besides you
Now I'm in mourning
I wipe the sleepless from my eyes
Where is tomorrow
I think that times a lie
And I want to destroy it
Break the face of my clock
Still I'll never get the sun to stop
No need to remind
I've wasted today and I'm
Watching the sunset
Only life that's left is polluted
Waste is my world
I am the devil
I pollute myself for pleasure
It brings me happiness
The thunderous clouds above, couldn't persuade me to stop
What is pleasure without pain?
Drunkenness, happiness, pain, restlessness, pleasure
I praise the rain yet I piss in your lake
You think that you're beautiful
So, I spit in your face
Dirt is my crown
Fire is my wine
What is hypocrisy?
Pain is for life
Life is for pain
You talk a rebellious game. you tell everyone you’re fed up. against this fascist government. you tell everyone to rise up. but you’re so fucking drunk you can’t even stand up. you’re completely fucking useless, so why don’t you just shut up. a waste of life a waste of my time. all you care about is your stupid hardcore pride. what’s in, what’s out. internet gossip and spreading lies. you got none of your own so you talk shit on others lives. a fake name on-line behind which you hide. kids who use underground music to belong. imitate other peoples clothing, attitudes and songs. wannabes to the stereotype they conform. now it’s so watered down. you’re the reason it went wrong. your definition of hardcore is not the same as mine. your definition of punk is not the same as mine. start putting your ideals into your daily life. to truly rise against this system you must sacrifice. not just with the music but with everything you buy, you’re so engrossed in its trappings you don’t even realize. that you’re a slave to it conveniences like everybody else. if you wanna rid its evil first rid it from yourself. UNTIL THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP!
I'm all wired
To see the fire
Burning in your eyes
Though I know
You hold your own
To hell with compromise
The weight you bore
I've seen before
Has cut you down to size
You're hating
Complaining
Damn you
For wasting everything
Way back then
You told me then
The light was growing dim
Take this ride
And hold on tight
It just might turn out
Alright
Alright
You're hating
Complaining
Damn you
For wasting everything
With every lie
A little older
Every day
A little colder
Tell you what
You need a shoulder
You're hating
Complaining
Damn you
Where's the neverending love?
An endless crush I had on no other
I'd be waiting from across the street
In a car I made a plan for you and me
Hello,
All over the world
Hello, hello, hello
Cold the hands the hands I see
They are cold and you down
Ain't they calling for me?
I wonder if you're real and nobody cares
But I love you so much
and we hardly ever met
Hello,
All over the world
Hello, hello, hello
I watched the streets
Every street
You're not here
And on my way I'm all alone
I don't worry
We'll stand close
Hello,
All over the world
We'd be hands in hands
You'd feel so close to me
Yes it's easy to see
That the cold that I feel
Well it could be the winter
Or the fact we hardly ever met
Hello,
All over the world
Hello, hello, hello
I watched the streets
Every street
You're not here
And on my way I'm all alone
I don't worry
We'll stand close
Hello,
All over the world
The world...
We'll stand close
I'll go on
Hello, hello, hello, hello
A call in the wind
But nobody cares
I'm running forever, ever
Running faster, faster
Nobody cares
Cause always the wind blows
And nobody ever, ever
Goes faster, faster,
Fine!
Waste of writting material, 'Sunflower Breakfast Cereal',
The night comes , just begun, It does burn inside, to
want someone that doesn't want you, something new,
Blanked out expression, mediocore lesson, learned in
time, learned in time, Stare and think about her, is she
the one I'm after?, all along, all along, I try to please
them, And try to please him, all the time, And he tries
It's a wild dream
It's a white scream
A devious dream
Just a flame in the fire
Can hear the drums of fate
Reverberate
From the very depths of the earth
Dream
This sacrifice
Red onto white
World wasn't remembered
World in my world
This hasn't been remembered
It's a wild dream...
To exorcise the beast inside
It's a grave scene
So big in size
Come into life
Wild dream, real life
World wasn't remembered
World in my world
This hasn't been remembered
It's a wild dream...
Just a wild dream...
The trumps of fate
Are blown away
From the very heart of the world
Wild dream
World wasn't remembered
World in any world
This hasn't been remembered
No, no, no, no!
It's a wild dream
New targets burn beneath me
Another mission’s going fine
The A.R.S. still screams
I see people dying
Screaming, bleeding, crying
Begging for a truce
Shootin’, crushin’ them all
I won't spare anyone
Other flames will rise
Glory will be mine
Nothing will remain
Waste no more
Waste no more
Waste no more
Waste no more
Something is changing
I am the one who’s hunted
Enemies are closer now
Headquarters are too far
And now that I'm dying
They plan the next attack
Falling, now it’s clear
With the blood on my hands
I’ll just die in vain
Coffins dressed in line
Medals on the graves
Waste no more
Waste no more
Waste no more
No more!
Don’t call me hero I’m just dead in vain
Now someone’s cryin’ out with pain
Lords of destruction still search for new strength
War will go on without me
And I’m sure
Tears and pain
Won’t end
No one will fight
For peace
They steal your life
To kill
