Wasted, you tasted me
Two-faced, I'm replaced so easily
But I'm too high to leave
And I'm too inspired to see what's in front of me

Wading in waters too deep
Even preying while you're asleep
But I'm too wired to breathe
And I'm too tired to see what you make of me

A crumpled candy wrapper and colored bits of paper
Wilted in a puddle of yesterday's rapture
Little snips of rainbow floating out the window
And swept into the corner with memories of laughter

And I'm too high to leave
And I'm too tired to believe
That I've blended into nothing

Erin McLeod's Album

Wasted

All I Have To Do Is Dream

Eight Days A Week

Glad to be out of the center of this race
Follow the rage, no way no how
I'm just another lonely face

But what I've seen I can't unsee
Been what I do not want to be
There's no need to believe that anything in life is free
There's give and there's take
Somebody fills the orders that you've made
So don't hesitate to say your piece the hour is getting late

Look at me now, floating in an empty space
Gathering the sounds of love that never goes to waste

What I've seen I can't unsee
Been what I do not want to be
There's no need to believe that anything in life is free
There's give and there's take
Somebody fills the orders that you've made
So don't hesitate to say your piece before it's too late

If you wait too long
You're gonna be wrong

Where are we now
Falling for the same old things
Have to scream it loud
In time, before the church bell rings

What I've seen I can't unsee
Been what I do not want to be
There's no need to believe that anything in life is free
There's give and there's take
somebody fills the orders that you've made
So don't hesitate to say your piece before it turns to hate

Speak

We'd sit around making up some new old game
All I'd do is sit down and derange my head
Watching people go insane
Breaking windows in my brain

They're on to me, there's no one left to blame
I'd better run and hide far away
In big trouble, gonna be pain
Jumping out of windows in my brain

Got me so damn scared I can't swallow
Intellect intact, but you're hollow

I'm gonna get it bad, there's no escape
All I know is I'm ashamed
Watching people go insane
Breaking windows in my brain
Children, be careful where you play
Sorrys won't mean a thing

Windows

Your energy is not for me
I can feel you breathing down my neck and dreaming
I won't give you anything
It's too late
I've been drained

A constant king you'll never be
I can see you feeding
Drinking innocent feelings
They will give you everything
So fascinated, you're captivating
It's too late
I've been drained

Your poetry might move me
Cheap spells that want me to be carefree
Sweet things and promises are soothing
But I know what you're doing
Get moving

Get Moving

What did you say, no crystals in my eyes are twinkling
Too many choices to make and the flickering speed of light is blinding
It's a mind game when something gets me thinking
Am I wrong
Am I strong enough alone or being deep in love
I broke, I break, I make mistakes
I won't let you down
You can count on me to be a surging, circling pain

Don't be afraid
Everything is quiet again
There's no need to wait
No one is listening
It's a mind game when something gets me thinking
Am I wrong
Am I strong enough alone or being deep in love
I broke, I break, I make mistakes
I won't let you down
You can count on me to be and inending ache
I broke, I break, I'll make mistakes until I see
It's all up to me, driving

Am I wrong, am I strong enough to be free from me

Wrong

I've got nothing to hide
You can crawl right up into my mind
I'm on your side
You ain't got no reason to be terrified
Unless, or course, you know you're lying
To yourself and criticizing everybody else

Seeing red once again
Some fool you think you're playing
Six senses at eleven
Acquainted well with demons

You've got something to hide
Another cookie behind your back this time
Open your hands wide
You ain't got no reason to be terrified
Unless you know I know you're lying

Dreaming demon

No Need

You told me from the very beginning that you would break my heart
Because you are a sad and lonely tattered falling star
Said you feel joy like sparkling toys in somebody else's yard
Well, it's not in my hands to understand how to keep you from falling apart
And you keep pulling me back to the start

Olden flowers, pulled petals for wishes of dreams that have drifted too far
Been cutting lines with Easter bunnies of secrets turned crystal hard
On and on the tethered cord hums when I don't know where you are
Well, it's not in my hands to understand how to keep you from falling apart
And you keep pulling me back to the start

But now it seems impossible to quit
The pains that cause my being to split
The thing nobody wants to admit
That feeling bad feels good for a minute

In the chambers, you are my echo when love's nowhere to be found
Maybe next time the winds will blow different
And sing that familiar sound
Everywhere breathes the cold, callous air inside of the merry-go-round
Apart you will tear, when you're in there 
Telling stories from beneath the ground
And you keep spinning me round and round

But now it seems impossible to quit
The pains that cause my being to split
The thing nobody wants to admit
That feeling bad feels good for a minute
