Wasteland

Life's a pretty funny place When you're living in this wasteland Time stretching like a waistband Kinda leaves a funny taste in your mouth When you think about how long this will take man I was sitting on the sidewalk Drinking til my mind stops sinking down I can't stop thinking about how I could be missing out I should be messing around I wanna be sleeping but the city's too loud Sometimes I wonder where my brain's gone Maybe I left it at the till I'm always thinking up the same songs I'm just this tiny little spec, out in space With a taste for attention No motivation at all Kinda seems like reality TV I'm from the valley where the people always fake it Anticipation, sometimes I wonder if we'll make it out our basement And if we don't I don't know how I'm gonna face it I'd rather be a deadbeat Knowing that I had a dream and fucking chased it Sometimes I wonder where my brain's gone Maybe I left it at the till I'm always thinking up the same songs We're only here for a short time So where should I go Tears on the shoreline Sink through the stones Just trying to live all my days Like a riff on a stage Like a spliff on the way home From a shift in a cage Sometimes the rain makes my day Just a little bit better Sometimes the pain really is The beauty in a fall Sometimes the rain makes my day Just a little bit better
