Wasted Time
I see an old man thinking back looking at me
He sees all the dreams that he never believed
A young man in his shell cause he's scared of what he'll be
Or what he won't be if he doesn't follow his dreams
Now young man take a seat as I jump in the deep
So you can learn from my mistakes and cut the weight from your feet
Cause I was once like you and you'll be just like me
Don't mistake me for somebody that you shouldn't believe
Do you remember the person that you aspired to be
Well he packed up his bags and he's ready to leave
He's on the brink it's time to think of what you want to achieve
Cause there's a different path for the life you need
If it was easy everybody would have followed your lead
And you will get no respect until you start to succeed
And people still are gonna cut you just to watch you bleed
Take it from the old man who used to walk with your feet
Why throw your soul
Into your hole
You've dug inside
Why waste your days
For you to say
That you've relied
On wasted time
I look ahead of me I hope you be ready
See everything that ever changed who I am was coming readily
Available unscalable my mercy's defeat
But don't you show up telling me who I need to be
So what I lost my way things are subject to change
Deranged in my brain tied it down and locked it with chains
At least that's what they've told me do you think I'm insane
Listen up old man you'll never get what I'm sayin
Well what I'm saying is please let me try to explain
I've been trained by the masses and the public displays
Cinematography without the lense on average days
With average people in their average ways
It's pretty crazy how easy we've become to manipulate
And if I'm being honest maybe you're right about all this pain
That I've been hiding inside It's been taking up the space
But there's a little bit left of is it too late
Why throw your soul
Into your hole
You've dug inside
Why waste your days
For you to say
That you've relied
On wasted time
Listen young man cause it isn't too late
You still have time to realign your fate
You still have time to be one of the greats
You just gotta realize that you get what you make
If you put in what you want out then you start to create
An audience who rocks your hits and blows the roof of your place
Selling shows and writing songs will put food on your plate
If you just stop wasting time and start on a clean slate
He sees all the dreams that he never believed
A young man in his shell cause he's scared of what he'll be
Or what he won't be if he doesn't follow his dreams
Now young man take a seat as I jump in the deep
So you can learn from my mistakes and cut the weight from your feet
Cause I was once like you and you'll be just like me
Don't mistake me for somebody that you shouldn't believe
Do you remember the person that you aspired to be
