Wasted

We all need something to fill the emptiness
A temporary substitute for happiness
It keeps you warm and safe like a security blanket
But then it only leaves you feeling vacant

It's not what you anticipated
I know, it's always complicated
But everyone would be so devastated
Another day, another night, another life is wasted

Life is hardly ever like we'd like it to be
You need a nightly reprieve from the entropy
Slip into another self-induced haze
Keep slipping until it slips away

It's not what you anticipated
I know, it's always complicated
But everyone would be so devastated
Another day, another night, another life is wasted

I know it seems to ease the pain
But then, of course, it just comes back again
Like a heavy storm cloud that hovers above you
Raining down on everyone who loves you

It's not what you anticipated
I know, it's always complicated
But everyone would be so devastated
Another day, another night, another life is wasted

It's just an illusory remedy
It's not so easy to erase your memory
See yourself with a clear and healthy mind
You might be surprised by what you find

It's not what you anticipated
I know, it's always complicated
But everyone would be so devastated
Another day, another night, don't let your life be wasted
