Wasted

1.Wring the life from your soul as water from a sponge/Fall and prey to the crystal entity
Dismantle your life piece by piece/As your kids cower in the corner
Spending five to ten in a six by six/The concrete dormitory
It all went wrong when the first hit was had/Ever since nothing's been right
Mind racing lightyears ahead/Contemplating what could have been
The black hole made in your mind's eye/True freedom denied


Refrain

Call out the words which you always are/Happiness at bay by bars
The end of time has come/Death for you beats its drum
Call out the words which you always are/Happiness at bay by bars
The end of time has come/Death for you beats its drum


2. Not the only companion which you carried forth/Fire and water into the fray
Alas, alas the time has come/Pay the man for misdeeds done
In the cage which one puts self/Bathe in black haloed sun

(to refrain, solo)


3. One for the road on the journey to the end/Watch old self from breaking point
Ending all hope for light/All those who enter here
Put themselves into the thrush/Tainted gold despised

(to refrain)

I really enjoyed reading this. You created a very interesting story which makes the reader think about your lyrics. I love the first line: "Wring the life from your soul as water from a sponge".
