Waste
by Gretchen

Album: Mouth Full of Nails

Verse 1
In my effort to be real
You have often had to peel
Away the solid layering
of bitterness and spite

Then I'm left with nothing more
Than the child I was before
Unpretentous wandering to the truth

(chorus)
So come and take away the fear that binds me
Let me leave this world behind me
I don't want to fake
every moment I'm awake
So come and take away the fear that binds me
Let me leave this world behind me
I don't want to make
every moment I'm awake
a waste, a waste...

Verse 2
Now it's easy to percieve
Cause it's hard enough to breathe
and never taste the innocence--the essence of your love

Every day the feeling grows
Everything that's in me knows
That you're unmistakedly
arrayed with the truth

(bridge)
It's growing, It's blowing,
I see it, I feel it
a Siren, a Torment,
Another time for us to say
Another way, another song to sing
another day, another voice for me
to say, to you
