99 Burning - Wasted Lyrics

Don't ever forget the ways
Of golden hopes that lost the fray
To wasted rainy cloudy days
That squelched the light...obscured the day

Light that lived without a hue
Without a care for me or you
Life that's led by cold hard fate
On days that you were forced to wait

Remember,
When you looked good
But no one saw you
So you didn't exist

Wait for someone who would care
But I'm too wasted & no one's there
I won't compete in a human race
Find my own way at my own pace

Tired of fear & being alone
Desires died assent has grown
Time to face the great unknown
Duel with death & claim his thrown

This isn't spite in any way
Life was spite now it's okay
I cannot face one more day
I have to go I will not stay


At the end, reflecting,
Like a shattered mirror
A pool of blood & tears
It all seems so futile...lost....hopeless

I have been sacrificed
On the altar of progress
Crucified denied nullified
In the name of excess

Society...My murderer
Will get off
Only to kill again & again
You and me, we're blood money

Entrenched in a Malbowge
Purgatory teases me
the revelation mimics me
Retribution watches tauntingly

C'mon Jesus,
Save save enslave me

Hail Mary full of grace
Save me from the human race
Wipe tears of flame from my face
Help me get out of this place

Lately things ain't gone the way
That I'd hoped they would one day
I hoped to stay true to form
I wished to take this world by storm

But I just sit & waste away
I'm too wasted & no one cares
I'm too wasted & no one's there
I'm too wasted & life's not fair

Waste
Away
Waste
Away...
