Wasted Time lyrics

You and I together in our lives

Sacred ties would never fray

Then why can't I let myself tell lies

And watch you die every day

I think back to the times

When dreams were what mattered

Tough talking youth naivete

You said you never let me down

But the horse stampedes and rages

In the name of desperation

Is it all just wasted time

Can you look at yourself

When you think of what

You left behind

Is it all just wasted time

Can you live with yourself

When you think of what

You left behind

Paranoid delusions they haunt you

Where's my friend I used to know

He's all alone

He's buried deep within a carcass

Searching for a soul

Can you feel me inside your heart

As it's bleeding

Why can't you belive you

can't be loved

I hear you scream in agony

And the horse stampedes and rages

In the name of desperation

Is it all just wasted time

Can you look at yourself

When you think of what

You left behind

Is it all just wasted time

Can you live with yourself

When you think of what

You left behind

You said you never let me down

But the horse stampedes and rages

In the name of desperation

Is it all just wasted time

Can you look at yourself

When you think of what

You left behind

Is it all just wasted time

Can you live with yourself

When you think of what

You left behind

The sun will rise again

The earth will turn to sand

Creation's colors seem to fade to grey

And you'll see the sickly hands of time

Will write your final rhyme

And end a memory

I never thought you'd let it get

this far, boy
