Wastelands - Silje Nergaard

Welcome to the wastelands

I guess you saw the sign

Saying… plots of land to let

Where all those broken hearts can pine

A place where no-one says that you

Must get back in the game

But let you take your own sweet time

And you just let them do the same

All who walk the wastelands

Feel they’re branded someone’s fool

All who walk the wastelands

Are hurting bad but won’t let sadness rule

The landscape is forbidding

The trees are hung with dew

But no-one ever comes to visit here

For the climate or to see the view

The wastelands must stay barren

So hearts can freely sow

The seed that thrives on all their bitterness

Well-knowing it won’t ever grow

All who walk the wastelands

Feel they’re branded someone’s fool

All who walk the wastelands

Know that Love can be so cruel

All who walk the wastelands

Are still missing what they had

All who walk the wastelands

Are hurting bad but won’t let sadness rule
