lyrics

Waste

My eyes cast about
My hands reach out
It's all smoke and I touch my face
There's nothing here
Within or without
We are ghosts in a land of fear
I feel like the joker in a house of cards
With my stillborn twin in the pack
I dubbed out my soul
I can't get it back
I'm a teacher on the supply
O the burden is mine
The burden it is to be wasted
The burdens drown in the wine
And what the hell is the use
Drinking wine, all the time.

-Ergo Phizmiz
