Lyrics

Wasteland

Have I lost my mind?
Is this paradise?
Or a darker side?
Candy coated lips
You're the sweetest kiss
But a bad trip

Changing faces
Know the name, but I just can't place it
Slurring phrases
Took a step, but I can't retrace it
Tell me, "Take this"
But I don't wanna wake up in...

Your wasteland
Your wasteland (I don't wanna wake up in...)
Your wasteland
Your wasteland
No, I don't wanna wake up in your...

Twisted fantasy
In your ecstasy
You're no good for me
Just behind the wall
It's not a dream at all
It's a free fall

Changing faces
Know the name, but I just can't place it
Slurring phrases
Took a step, but I can't retrace it
Tell me, "Take this"
But I don't wanna wake up in...

Your wasteland
Your wasteland (I don't wanna wake up in...)
Your wasteland
Your wasteland
No, I don't wanna wake up in your...

I don't wanna wake up in your...

Changing faces
Slurring phrases
Nothing changes
In your waste-
I don't wanna wake up in...

Your wasteland
Your wasteland (I don't wanna wake up in...)
Your wasteland
Your wasteland
No, I don't wanna wake up in your wasteland

Changing faces (in your wasteland)
Slurring phrases (I don't wanna wake up in your...)
Nothing changes
In your waste-
I don't wanna wake up
