I wake up feeling guilty almost every day

'cause nothing wakes me better than dismay

And then I nourish the illusion of control

So maybe this time I will get to reach my goal

I get so tired with the things I gotta do

Who put me up to it? What did I do?

Why pushing forward's gotta be a fuckin' chore?

Just let me fuckin' sleep 'cause I can't take it anymore

Why do we strive and simply can't subside

What do we hide that we can't put to light?

Shame guides us and guilt defines us

For we don't tolerate

Waste

Waste

We don't tolerate waste

I won't be a waste

No, I won't be a waste

No, I won't be a waste

Of

(Time) I feel I wasted almost all of it on shit

(Effort) I put into things only just to quit

(Money) never needed it so never learned to earn

(Respect) I feel it waning in the mirror so I turn

With every bad decision I feel like I lose my vision

My sense of self-derision wanes within my sick ambition

My mind entwined rewinds the time back to restart the grind

Until I reach the high that dwells so deep inside

Why do we strive and simply can't subside

What do we hide that we can't put to light?

Shame guides us and guilt defines us

For we don't tolerate

Waste, waste, waste, waste

We don't tolerate waste

A string of rhetorical questions directed te self

This is something!

But back in my mind I'm wasting my time

Again an'again an'again an'again an'again

Whatever I hide I leave it behind

Again an'again an'again an'again an'again

Again an'again an'again an'again an'again again an'again an'again an'again an'again

Why do we strive and simply can't subside

What do we hide that we can't put to light?

Shame, shame guides us and guilt defines us

For we don't tolerate

Waste
