Wasting Time from Decades by Kylee Brielle

Spilling these words
And verbs against a canvas
Don't be absurd and disturbed
Like I didn't plan this
Feel like I'm repeating myself
And everyone knows it
And those who notice
Won't dare oppose it
Am I cursed
To rehearse
The same old verse?
Doomed to a siren song
Until I somehow get worse?
Pick it up, or do I leave it?
What do I believe in?
Is this the life I wanna live in?

Pre-chorus
Don't say I never told you
It's not like I didn't try
If you listen
It is written
In every line

Chorus:
Am I defective? Or am I just infected?
I wanna live, not die inside
Wanna move on instead of wasting time
I'm not forsaking, I'm keeping my heart from breaking
I wanna overcome, not hide
Wanna get up instead of wasting my time

Verse 2:
Pain can't be measured by counting lines
The signs
Are sometimes
Hiding behind the lies
I can smile, say I'm doing fine
Bare my teeth like prison bars
While my happiness is doing time

I don't suppose you know what it feels like
To take all your goals and throw em to the wayside
When you look behind, in your hindsight
They remind and find you unrealized

Chorus:
Am I defective? Or am I just infected?
I wanna live, not die inside
Wanna move on instead of wasting time
I'm not forsaking, I'm keeping my heart from breaking
I wanna overcome, not hide
Wanna get up instead of wasting my time

Bridge:
My pendulum mood swings
Count slowly down
While I decay
I want to get up
Take a breath
Do anything but waste away

Chorus:
Am I defective? Or am I just infected?
I wanna live, not die inside
Wanna move on instead of wasting time
I'm not forsaking, I'm keeping my heart from breaking
I wanna overcome, not hide
Wanna get up instead of wasting my time
