Lyrics
[Introduction]
Is it victory, when you lose everything?
It is fight or flight when you're left without wings?
If learning is a gift, then I've been left adrift
In my life, nothing but a shift
(a time rift)
[Leading riff]
[Verse 1]
Solitude is my exception
Nothing but void, I see
My perception was plagued
By deception (its a misconception)
(Pre-Chorus)
I strive not to grow
Lost the truth long ago
Is it here, above or below?
I don't know
[Riff break]
[Chorus]
Wasteaway 'cuz I waste this day
Isn't there something to say?
For if I know you, and you aren't free
Then what will happen to me?
[Bridge]
I have the right to see
The edge of destiny
Especially when it features me
So let me fall, leave me be
[Melodic continuous guitar solo]
[Verse 2]
The lies that you built
The cries that are distilled
Manipulate me, underrate me
But you can't berate me
[Outro]
You can't wait
To unlock the doors of fate
So blindly, you move past
The lies you overcast
[Verse 3]
I guess anything goes
When you're waiting for the one that you love
It's not ready
Hey, man, wouldn't you know?
That the woman should be waiting for love
(Why would you be waiting for love?)
Over and over and over and over again
[Chorus]
Wasteaway 'cuz I waste this day
Isn't there something to say?
For if I know you, and you aren't free
Then what will happen to me?
[Breakdown]
And I've searched my soul for you today
But this feeling is getting old
It won't go away
I'm lost without you here
My love, it lays under the cornerstone
That the builder threw away
I've searched my soul
Nothing ever came
[Emotional Breakdown]
And I've searched my soul for you today
But this feeling is getting old
It won't go away
I'm lost without you here
My love, it lays under the cornerstone
That the builder threw away
I've searched my soul
...Nothing ever came
[Verse 4]
This feeling's getting old
Right back in the cold now
Right back into the cold, yeah
It's all I've ever known
All I've ever known, yeah
[Chorus]
Wasteaway 'cuz I waste this day
Isn't there something to say?
For if I know you, and you aren't free
Then what will happen to me?
[Verse 5]
And I have searched my soul, yeah
For you, it's true
But nothing ever comes, alright
And I swear, I'm headed back to the other side, yeah
I can't sit around and watch us both die
Oh, no, I cannot watch us both die
Oh no, not I
But you know I've got to try
[Emotional Outro]
I need you here
I've tried and I'll try again
Through all my pain
This is not the end
