Name: Wasted
Duration: P00H04M40S
Description: I wrote this when I was depressed. An Ian Curtis kind of depression; low, bleak, mouldy. The kind of torpidity that grows from a single-celled thought that seems harmless enough in the petrie dish but then grows into an insidious, impenetrable slime of the mind.

about

I wrote this when I was depressed. An Ian Curtis kind of depression; low, bleak, mouldy. The kind of torpidity that grows from a single-celled thought that seems harmless enough in the petrie dish but then grows into an insidious, impenetrable slime of the mind.

lyrics

Wasted wasted
My life on this x 2
Sugar wasted in cups of tea
Shoulda exercised my body more regularly
Broken mirror of my vanity
Ripped every page of my diary

Sunny days wasted in doors
Shoulda done a few less chores
Climbed more trees watched more birds
Shoulda listened to my sisters cutting words

Remember you got something that somebody else wanted
Bet your bottom dollar they still want it
Your friends aren’t who you think they are
They’ll stab your back keep up an act
Cos people can be just like that they’ll take you for everything you have

When I left home I didn’t know how to cook or sew
I had to learn the hard way
But I got by on simple things like truth and lies
I had to learn the hard way
Ripped every page of my diary

 If nobody cuts the roses will they just rot away
 If nobody shoots the ravens
Will they fly to the end of the highway
Wasted wasted my life on this on this
