Hazardous Waste
By Mandibles

You’ve picked your poison
And I pick up after you
Long gone are the toys
And Friday afternoons
You nod off in daylight
I always fear the worst
Even though you always said
You’d put your family first

We’re suspended by invisible thread
And you’re waving around the knife
But I guess you don’t care if we’re living or dead
What with your hazardous waste of a life

Your habits are slowly breaking me
One puncture at a time
I miss the woman you used to be
I miss the days before your decline
Do you know that I’m growing
Without supervision
Unguided unknowing
Was that your decision

We’re suspended by invisible thread
And you’re waving around the knife
But I guess you don’t care if we’re living or dead
What with your hazardous waste of a life

A sock on the door means so much more
When you're not bringing guys around
If I looked inside I know what I’d find
And it's nothing that that needs to be found

You were supposed to be there
For all the mistakes that I made
But instead I’m stuck with you here
Watching my childhood fade
Too many wasted
Tears spent on you mom
I’m through with waiting
It’s time to move on

the guitar riff at the start reminds me of Sweet Dreams Are Made of This. Mix sounds really good and the beatboxing is well used. This is a little dramatic for my tastes at times and I think there’s an autotune-style effect on the vocal a few times that I suspect isn’t really necessary (because your singer is astonishingly good) but I can’t deny the power and catchiness of that chorus, and the surfy guitar twangs towards the end are great.
