'''Avail''' (previously known as '''"Waste My Time"''') is a solved lostwave by indie-rock band The Burns, recorded from Minsk radio in 2010 and first posted by WatZatSong user morback in 2013.  


== History ==
== Background ==
The WatZatSong post only began receiving considerable attention in early 2023, when the first non-deleted comments were posted. Due to the heavy accent of the singer, nearly every single word of the song is highly debated upon. This makes the search especially difficult, rendering it a lostwave cold case, and chances of solving it look bleak. There are virtually no leads in the search.  
On November 5th, 2013, WatZatSong user morback posted the song for the first time without providing any additional information, but it was removed for unknown reasons.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20141002015733/http://www.watzatsong.com:80/en/name-that-tune/391658.html</ref> On October 11th, 2014, morback added the entire song to the thread.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150129053646/http://www.watzatsong.com:80/en/name-that-tune/391658.html</ref>


The OP of Waste My Time, morback, claims the song abruptly stopped playing on radio in 2012, likely coordinated with a law promoting Belarusian music on radio stations. This means the song is likely not from Belarus. The song is widely thought to have originated from an Eastern European country, but Japan has also been theorized.
On December 15th, 2014, user ID-Cancion reuploaded the song to YouTube,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm5JWTBQ2YQ</ref> and morback reuploaded the song to WatZatSong on January 9th, 2018, claiming that he recorded it from Belarusian radio station Indy Rock Radio in 2010.<ref>https://www.watzatsong.com/en/found/The+Burns-Avail-537199.html?page=3</ref>

Loathing smile(s), drink while


Closed-eyed tryna picture us:
Further correspondence with morback revealed that the song was most likely created by a non-Belarusian band, as it stopped airing on the radio in 2012, and Belarus had a law requiring 75% of music broadcast each day to be Belarusian.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WasteMyTime/comments/1ccy0r8/progress_is_slowly_being_made/</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Belarus</ref>

|'''(Verse 1)'''
Lonely smile, drink a while


Loving boy, it’s useless now
(Clothes hide?) how to picture us


I don’t see why you’re at peace
We're falling down, (head in?) (holding?) hands


Can’t see sign? Wake up
And it's too hard to live it up


Aim the mirror for the sky
A lot of words are useless now


Crossing roads and empty streets
Oh, should I ignore the peace


In hyperreallis
Can't see the sign, wake up


Hidden somewhere, hidden deep
I hit the mirror from the sky


You can never find it
Busted roads and empty streets


Today, you’ll feel
(It hide where your road leads?)


How bad can it build
It leads somewhere, hidden deep


I’m so ANGERED
You will never find it


Your heart is BLIND
'''(Chorus)'''
 
Today, you'll (sear?)
 
Heartbreak in your dreams
 
I'm so unkind
 
Your (horrified?) heart is blind


I waste my time
I waste my time


Until it’s alright
I'm sure it's alright
 
You'll try to find


You tried to find
Some (words?) in your mind


Some world you’re mine
'''(Verse 2)'''


A lovely time, it’s alright
A lot of the time, it’s alright


Write a letter, it’s touched you
Write a letter, (it's for sure?)


Great it feels, not too hard
(Greater dreams?) not too hard


But if I leave, forget all this?
But if I need (to come?) to this


Show me Eden, cover up
So late leaving covered up


But in the dark, you’ll be undressed
Until the dark, I'll be undressed


There is nothing truly there
There is nothing truly there


The life goes on
(The fight goes wild?)
 
'''(Chorus)'''


Today, you’ll feel
Today, you'll (sear?)


How bad can it build
Heartbreak in your dreams


I’m so ANGERED!
I'm so unkind


Your heart is BLIND!
Your (horrified?) heart is blind


I waste my time
I waste my time


Until it’s alright
I'm sure it's alright
 
You'll try to find


You tried to find
Some (words?) in your mind


Some world you’re mine
'''(Chorus 2)'''


Today, you’ll feel
Today, you'll (sear?)


How bad can it build
Heartbreak in your dreams


I’m so ANGERED!
I'm so unkind


Your heart is BLIND!
Your (horrified?) heart is blind


I waste my time
I waste my time


Until it’s alright
I'm sure it's alright
 
You'll try to find


You tried to find
Some sense in my eyes
