Now you barely remember your youth You used to embrace the eerie and helm Visitations from spirit realms Gifted to see between astral planes Now you plead to be plain A bystander Of bygone standards They'll watch you waste away, waste away, waste away, waste away Don't waste your candor On bystanders They'll watch you waste away, waste away, waste away, waste away (Waste away, waste away, waste away) The minute you mitigate your fire (Waste away, waste away, waste away) The innocence of carnal desire (Waste away, waste away, waste away) Is stolen (Waste away, waste away, waste away) It's stolen (Waste away, waste away, waste away) And it's true that the truth gives you free But when truth is a breach of decree Dying for praise from a gallery Whose morality is grey And they tie all their stones to your name And they cripple your bones with their shame Honesty is the most moral way But morality is grey
