you seek some silence in places without names
set raging storms running backward to get the same
you wanna feel the breaks between the noises
and see if it is better and see if it will make you fly

burning sets you back,
you're yearning for enlightened boys
and you're falling for their faces
and you're falling in their eyes

we're wasting away
time is broken stillness
with memories that fill it
we're wasting away
the lanes we want seem farther
than the exits do today

blue summer shimmers lend their glamor
to lemonades and to pretty girls
the times i fly are lately rarer
i wanna lose myself in your jet black curls

feeling sorta rhythmic, it's likely lives are wasting
they're wasting time on me
bringing singing strings to rest the band falls silent
echoes ringing through an unfulfilling crowd

we're wasting away
time is broken stillness with memories that fill it
we're wasting away
morning misty eyes speak hello
you know you're pretty when you smile

oh how they glorify us
back alley lives behind us
freedom leaves the edges torn
american heroes rising
rising in the morning

we're wasting away
time is broken stillness with memories that fill it
we're wasting away
morning misty eyes speak hello
you know you're pretty when you smile


waste
