Waste Lyrics - Gretchen

(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
