Beautiful Wasteland - Lahannya

This is not the time to look back

With our wounds still raw and bleeding

Tormented by regret

Why can’t I fade away

This is not the time to be blind

To the suffering I’ve caused you

I’ve come to realise

That it will take

More than words

If you want to stir

Broken hearts

I need

More than hope

Help me to atone

Heal my scars

Beautiful wasteland

Beautiful dream

Now I’m surrounded by

My shattered could have beens

I still believe that

We could turn around

Our circumstance to our gain

This beautiful wasteland

Could be our sanctuary

Not a testament to shame

This is not the time to resign

Even though that’s how i’m feeling

I’m guilty as implied

And begin to lose my mind

This is not the time to deny

The flaws in my decisions

I’ve nowhere left to hide

I know it takes

More than words

If you want to stir

Broken hearts

I need

More than hope

Help me to atone

Heal my scars

Beautiful wasteland

Beautiful dream

Now I’m surrounded by

My shattered could have beens

I still believe that

We could turn around

Our circumstance to our gain

This beautiful wasteland

Could be our sanctuary

Not a testament to shame
