about

Waste is a song about lingering memories, moving on, and trying to keep yourself through all that growth.

I tried to write this as a way to connect my own pep talks and mental processes with helping others try and find that same in the moment comfort.

lyrics

(Verse 1)
And there's no where
To go, but up
I really tried to earn your trust
It seems we live through different hues
I thought I was enough for you
Turns out, I'm just the minimum
The life I lived, subliminal
Trying to get too physical
I wish I told you I was good
Simple moments, off the grid
Obsession was the highest bid
What ever to the wonder
I felt when I was a kid?

(Bridge)
Opening night in your head
You just really wanna delay
It's not the time or place for
Putting your brain on replay
You don't have to be complete
Let yourself pickup the broken pieces

(Chorus)
It's such a
Waste of a beautiful mind
If you don't lend yourself some time
And you will be OK
Tell me you're OK
And I've been waiting all this time
And yet you decay, while I pine
Tell me you're OK
I hope I'll be OK

(Chorus)
It's such a
Waste of a beautiful mind
If you don't lend yourself some time
And you will be OK
Tell me you're OK
[And I've been waiting all this time
And yet you decay, while I pine
Tell me you're OK
I hope I'll be OK

(Outro)
As the stars start to align
I hope you'll tell me deep inside
That you had a (lost day)
And you will be OK
