Wasteland Song Lyrics

I spent ten thousand hours in a wasteland
Pulling these strings just to make it
You could see the callous on my left hand
I ain't never been one to fake it, no, no
I do it for the love, not the payoff
But I know one day it'll pay off
No more nine-to-life at a day job, no, no

We've all heard that it's lonely at the top
But we'd all rather go and personally find out
I don't want to say "What if?"
So I'll spend

One thousand nights in a wasteland won't be wasted
If my dreams start coming true
These nights in a wasteland would be wasted
If I didn't see this through
I'm singing that
All I need is to be all I can be
These nights in a wasteland won't be wasted
If my dreams start coming true

I put all of my love into the music
It turned me to a student
It taught me if you put your time to it, you can do it
Hope these million-hour nights, making beats up on my laptop
