Wasting Time
Spilling these words and verbs against a canvas
Don't be absurd and disturbed like I didn't plan this
Feel like I'm repeating myself, and everyone knows it
Those who notice won't dare oppose it
Am I cursed to rehearse the same old verse?
Doomed to a siren song until I somehow get worse?
Pick it up, or do I leave it?
What do I believe in?
Is this the life I wanna live in?
Don't say I never told you
It's not like I didn't try
If you listen
It is written in every line
Am I defective, or am I just infected?
I wanna live, not die inside
Wanna move on instead of wasting time
I'm not forsaking, I'm keeping my heart from breaking
I wanna overcome, not hide
Wanna get up instead of wasting my time
Pain can't be measured by counting lines
The signs are sometimes hiding behind the lies
I can smile, say, "I'm doing fine"
Bare my teeth like prison bars
While my happiness is doing time
I don't suppose you know what it feels like
To take all your goals and throw 'em to the wayside
When you look behind, in your hindsight
They remind and find you unrealized
Don't say I never told you
It's not like I didn't try
If you listen
It is written in every line
Am I defective, or am I just infected?
I wanna live, not die inside
Wanna move on instead of wasting time
I'm not forsaking, I'm keeping my heart from breaking
I wanna overcome, not hide
Wanna get up instead of wasting my time
My pendulum mood swings
Counts slowly down as I decay
I want to get up (get up)
Take a breath (take a breath, do anything)
Do anything but waste away
Am I defective, or am I just infected?
I wanna live, not die inside
Wanna move on instead of wasting time
I'm not forsaking, I'm keeping my heart from breaking
I wanna overcome, not hide
Wanna get up instead of wasting my time
Don't be absurd and disturbed like I didn't plan this
Feel like I'm repeating myself, and everyone knows it
Those who notice won't dare oppose it
Am I cursed to rehearse the same old verse?
Doomed to a siren song until I somehow get worse?
Pick it up, or do I leave it?
What do I believe in?
Is this the life I wanna live in?
Don't say I never told you
It's not like I didn't try
If you listen
It is written in every line
Am I defective, or am I just infected?
I wanna live, not die inside
Wanna move on instead of wasting time
I'm not forsaking, I'm keeping my heart from breaking
I wanna overcome, not hide
Wanna get up instead of wasting my time
Pain can't be measured by counting lines
The signs are sometimes hiding behind the lies

I'm not forsaking, I'm keeping my heart from breaking
I wanna overcome, not hide
Wanna get up instead of wasting my time
