Wasting Away

connemaramusic

Another RPM song.
Everything must go
Everything I’ve ever known
I wish I had a cigarette
To clear my aching, sun-starved head

Everything is falling in slow motion
Everything slides into the ocean
We live until we’re dead
Lying and waiting, smoking in bed

We live in the flicker
The flashes of light
Somewhere between the day and the night

We live in the flicker
Of a dying star
Lit up in the headlights of passing cars

Did you get what you wanted in this life
Or did you lose track of the time?
There are too many hours in the day
Spent wasting away, wasting away

It’s a slow burn
It might never go out
But don’t believe the words from the devil’s mouth

He promises the moon
The stars and the sun
But there’s not enough light to go around for everyone

We live in the flicker
It flickers too fast
Blink and the future is swallowed by the past

I’m on a threshold
Between now and then
Wish I could start it all over again

Did you get what you wanted in this life
Or did you lose track of the time?
There are too many hours in the day
Spent wasting away, wasting away

So much wasting…

Did you get what you wanted in this life
Or did you lose track of the time?
There are too many hours in the day
Spent wasting away, wasting away
