Wasted Time
No Shore EP
2007

lyrics:

1) Hostage

am i losing my mind or is it just a bluff
my dreams haunt me and the nights aren't long enough
my thoughts are seized by the horrors of history
we keep searching but our end remains a mystery
trapped again
caught again
fucked again
everyday i become more insane
trapped again
caught again
fucked again
i wonder if it's all in vain
i don't know what the hell i'm doing
i feel like i've already been through this
the days all melt together
i don't know what it's for
look for a sign but it's all just a blur
trapped again
caught again
fucked again
everyday i become more insane
trapped again
caught again
fucked again
i wonder if it's all in vain
disillusioned
directionless
i've found myself in this fucking mess
where will i be years from now
hopefully miles away from this town
inspiration's annihilating backhand and degradation go hand in hand
trapped again
caught again
fucked again
everyday i become more insane
trapped again
caught again
fucked again
i wonder if it's all in vain

2) Leech

exhaust your ideals
let everyone know
but when the shit hits the fan where do they go
desperate for a cause
what will it be this week
contradictions fill my ears from every word you speak
so proud of yourself and everything you're about
best of luck with your phony route
so sick of these fashionites and pseudo activists
caring is just another trend among these mindless pricks
a walking billboard
a pathetic spectacle
no one's impressed with the identity you stole
so proud of yourself and everything you're about
best of luck with your phony route
committed to a self indulgent search
for nothing
you're nothing

2b) No Shore

decay and anguish consume the streets
i see it in the eyes of everyone i meet
i'm always hurt
all i feel is sorrow
with the way things are will we even see tomorrow
fighting my apathy
feels like i'm lost at sea
i've spent my life wondering
wondering how things will be
there is no shore
no goal in sight
humanity
a selfish blight
no progress, no growth
culture is tainted
our fate's in the hands of reckless and braindead
no shore in sight

3) Hey, Pat!

psychotic zealot and his thought police
wanna control those with different beliefs
army of hysteria
leading his fight
the war mongers of the christian right
hateful prophet, spread your message
encourage violence
righteous man, you wonder why
we take offense
he likes his women subservient and dumb
he likes his minorities living in the slums
give him all your money
salvation isn't free
bullshit's piled so high
i can barely see
dearest pat
tell me what's next
who is on your list
who should we fight
just because
you're so pissed
hateful prophet
spread your message
encourage violence
it's all full circle
in the end
i just want to say
hey, pat
i hope
you're next

4) And So It Goes

where will you go
what will you take
the more that i see
the more that i'm drained
why should they care
about people like me
they'd kill me off
in a heart beat
blinded eyes and deafened ears
it's just another year
bombarded everyday
i just confirms all my fears
i'm represented by some rich old white man
wants me to fight his wars
and get gas for his benz
and so it goes
this is our destiny
you've raped our world
and now you have no need for peace
destroying the world must be fun when you're a senile prick
just depend on the young to clean up your shit
wartorn countries and depleted resources
when you're dead we'll still be paying for your choices
and so it goes
this is our destiny
you've raped our world
and now you have no need for peace

5) Ritual

it's become a ritual
how could it be so dull
sacrificed at the altar of the almighty dollar
think you're so progressive
so flavor of the week
pacified garbage that puts me to sleep
i won't buy into it
i refuse to submit
cheap imitations
no relation
we're not the same
don't try to relate
don't even talk to me
i won't take the bait
get out of my face
i don't want to know you
i don't care for your "music"
or your fickle views
i won't buy into it
i refuse to submit
cheap imitations
no relation
it's all a ritual
it's all a ritual
it's all a ritual
another empty ritual
i won't surround myself with fakes

6) Same Story

do it to yourself
why ask why
don't act like your hands are tied
nightmare
reality
your creation
bitch about your life
yet your so complacent
i don't want you
i don't want you
the world's just so hard on you
they're out to get you
for everything you do
victim of society
what a cop out
no one cares what you're talking about
i don't want you
to drag me down into your hell
i don't want you
telling me the lies that you always tell
i don't want you
wasting my time with your self induced problems
i don't want you
lift your flaccid wings
i've heard that song you sing
don't expect me to buy it
i've heard enough of your shit
it's just like last time
you tell me you'll be fine
you tell me you're above it
i've heard enough of your shit
same story
same story
same story
same story
same story
i don't want you
to drag me down into your hell
i don't want you
telling me the lies that you always tell
i don't want you
wasting my time with your self induced problems
i don't want you
wasting my time
