Beautiful Wasteland

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
