From the recording Wasteland
Lyrics
This is a wasteland
Where dreams go to die
As the echoes from the past fade away beneath the neon signs
This is a wasteland
Chasing hearts and hollow praise
Drowning in the glow of validation and blue light haze
Double tap dreams, filter queens, and cheap dopamine
Lost in our screen
It’s the modern day American Dream
This is a wasteland
I’m in bad company
With the junkies and the dealers and the liars
The backstabbing thieves
This is a wasteland
No surrender or retreat
As the bones of the city seem to crumble beneath my feet
Innocence lost from a stranger at last call
Remember the fallen on the cemetery walls
Is this the end of time are we living in final days
I watch here in vein, will Jesus still save
Us from all our wicked ways
The sinners and saints they pray
From the eternal flame, a fiery grave
This is a wasteland
Where dreams go to die
This is a wasteland
(Wasteland)
Where dreams go to die
This is a wasteland
(Wasteland)
Where dreams go to die
(Wasteland)
Oh, this is a wasteland
(Wasteland)
Where dreams go to die
