Wasteland
I care too much
I care not enough.
No one has ever marched
To the beat of my drum.
Dum diggita dum
dum diggita dum
dum diggita
dum dum
dum.
A funeral march
Progressive boredom over the course of my years,
It's a choice.
Throw in a good drink and a good show,
Call me content.
Call me anything you like but a waste.
A waste of time, money, air and space.
Call me a waste. I’ll wake up.
I’ll awake a year ago in my dumb love’s bed, thinking
of the last of his and the first of mine. I’ll show you a waste.
A waste of lines, of lies, of love and of time.
A waste of virginity down the drain, a waste of heartache,
of razor blades,
and pain.
Don’t call me a waste.
Let me sleep in my bed alone
my new cotton scent drowning
away the wasteland of stress pooling beneath my eyes.
Their cigarettes smell the same.
