Song information
This is a collaborative effort between several Melbourne musicians. The project features Kayla R on vocals and lyrics, Ive worked with Kayla a few times in the past.
Andre W (on his Gibson SG and Ibanez Pia Guitars), John D (bass guitar and bass synth), Nick C (drums), and myself on keyboards and the Mix.

Andre, who I previously played with me in LegRoom (my band in the 90s), connected me with Kayla and John, while John brought Nick into the project.
The song came together during COVID with band members recording their parts separately and sending the files to me for mixing along with my keyboard contributions.

Of course it has an Evansence feel to it, that is what Kayla and Andre wanted as they are big fans of that band. I am too :)

Lyrics
Wasteland by Kayla Rice
©Copyright 2020

Verse 1:
Empty rooms and hollow sounds
Echoes of what used to be
Your absence weighs like heavy clouds
Darkening everything I see

Chorus:
Shattered pieces of my heart
Scattered where you used to stand
Days blur into endless nights
Nothing matters in this wasteland

Verse 2:
Friends say time will heal these wounds
But they don't know this ache inside
The world keeps turning, seasons change
Yet here I am, still paralyzed

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I'm a shadow of who I was
When your love gave my life meaning (you gave me meaning)
Now I'm drifting, lost and alone
Wondering if there's any reason (so what's the reason?)

Repeat Chorus

End

Awesome. I love everything about this. I too am a big fan of Evanescence. I hear some Korn influence in the guitar and bass.
All in all a masterpiece.
