"Wasteland" lyrics

Take a wrong turn somewhere, call you Sunday, say I'm losing it
I'm running hot on empty, firing off some willful bottom line
Gave it everything I had, I am hazmat, I am radioactive
Caustic car wreck, off the rails and rude, and ruining your life

Ooh, you tie my hands
Can't drop a white flag and recant
I always draw lines in the sand
Threw a tepid punch and ran

I don't wanna be your wasteland
I just wanna stay awake
I don't wanna be your wasteland
I just wanna stay awake

Took a walk down sunset, I am scattered, I am hidden behind
Golden shock waves bearing some weak consolation prize
Saying everything I think, I am shrapnel, I am anxious resistance
Confrontation, crack me open, babe, let it all out
Ooh, we twisted the plot
Challenging every fair shot
Tied up in all the worst thoughts
Said I was, but guess I'm not

When all my petals fall like snowflakes
I don't wanna take your breath
When all my petals fall like snowflakes
I don't wanna take your breath

Take a second, honey, think about it, we are beautiful tears
Falling at the feet of every person you hold dear
Gave it everything I had, it's a collage, it's a delicate gamble
Cut you up and calm you down, and put you on a pedestal

Ooh, but you tied my hands
Can't drop a white flag and recant
I always draw lines in the sand
Let it mock the ground I stand

I don't wanna be your wasteland
I just wanna stay awake
I don't wanna be your wasteland
I just wanna stay awake
