Waste of Skin
Synthetic Delusion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waste of skin, from within,
You lack the will to resist,
Just a slave sold your soul you run away everyday
Day after day compromising yourself again
Scraping days off, draining years from your life,
Killing dreams you never gave the chance to come true
Infected rejected, let yourself go now your just,
Waste of skin, from within,
You lack the will to resist,
Just a slave sold your soul you run away everyday
Just like a coward you let this happen
Day after day compromising yourself again
Look at what you have become reduced to
Look at what you have become reduced to
Everyday you give yourself for their prophet,
Getting closer to your grave every precious day you watch pass... BY
Infected rejected, let yourself go now your just,
Waste of skin, from within,
You lack the will to resist,
Just a slave sold your soul you run away everyday
Just like a coward you let this happen
Day after day compromising yourself again
Throw away your goals
Burn you dreams
Suffocate your happiness while you dig your grave
Look back at your life and regret everything
Cause you let time pass you by its your fault
