Don't waste my time
The ambush came in back to back The train that came was right on track To me, this feels like blasphemy I won't stay how they wanted me When I die Will I leave by their design? I'm not sure if I'd wanna know so Tell me a lie To me, this feels like blasphemy That I can't breathe at all It's just a waste of time...

Premium Member The Weight of Waste
A flick of the wrist, a casual release, We label it 'trash,' find momentary peace. Yet whispers rise from a world in slow decline, A burden building, a tangled, choking vine.

From Plastic To Purpose

She wanted to teach kids, so she went to R.S.U. Much of it indoctrination, she didn't know what to do She could walk out and forego her degree Or play along, hide her views, and be less free He put his boys in a school, that once was good But it didn't teach the basics it should They told his boys...
