Turrets on Dark Castles

Do you waste like I waste?
I waste every taste bud on my tight tongue.
I waste every day by not examining the spots on the sun.
I waste all night by sleeping like a little one.
Do you want like I want?
I want every animal to understand that he exists.
I want the dead leaves to realise life is nothing but desire to live.
I want morning to know I have nothing left to give.
Do you weep because children die?
I weep because I can see them floating by in the night sky.
