Laid To Waste Lyrics - Singles - Jim Stapley

Hanging clothes, clinging to whats left of me 

I'm blowing through the memories, and shaking through my sleep 

Overtones, burning through the misery 

Promises made shake the dirt under my feet 

Well she said it would happen this way, 

And I believed it anyway 

Now I'm holding on for answers, when i don't have time to wait 

Biting through my finger nails and waiting for the day 

When I've run out excuses, and the debts are all to pay, 

Hoping my luck will change, before I'm laid to waste 

Aching bones, slammed 'til they're breaking, 

The beating we've been taking, I could bleed for weeks 

Gotta go, where ever I need to be 

Cos it seems a waste to me, hanging round for keeps 

Well I'm holding on for answers, when i don't have time to wait 

Biting through my finger nails and waiting for the day 

When I've run out excuses, and the debts are all to pay, 

Hoping my luck will change, before I'm laid to waste 

And I could save myself 

With what I've been given 

So much more than someone else 

I should save myself, today 

Now I'm holding on for answers 

When i don't have time to wait 

Biting through my finger nails 

Well I'm holding on for answers, when i don't have time to waste 

Biting through my finger nails, waiting for the day 

When I've run out excuses, and the debts are all to pay, 

Hoping my luck will change, before I'm laid to waste
