Waste and Pine - The Spills

It turned out easy

Pretending nothing pleased me

Now it’s something I can’t leave alone

What good did that do

To spend youth

Kicking and screaming through middle age?

How many years

Should that take?

Should I change my outlook?

Pretend that fear and hope are not the same?

Put the plug back in its place?

Getting to a healthy place won’t make my life go

Getting to a better place won’t make my life go any slower

Maybe fix myself

A drink

Maybe a drink will fix me

Dilute my senses at the least

And when I finally

Get through

Kicking and screaming to middle age

Let’s hope there’s still some time to waste

And waste away

Getting to a healthy place won’t make my life go

Getting to a better place won’t make my life go any slower

Getting to a healthy place won’t make my life go

Getting to a better place won’t make my life go any slower

I just want to

Love something I can’t

Throw away

I just want to

Love something I can’t

Throw away

I just want to

Love something I can’t

Throw away

I just want to

Love something I can’t

Throw away

There’s something dark, dumb and painful

That I can’t seem to leave alone

I can’t seem to leave alone

That I can’t seem to leave alone
