A Thousand Lives Lyrics by Dead Quiet

Dead Quiet

2015

[Verse 1]
All around the fire, smoldering to sleep
I fall to false memory
Far across the ocean is where I should be
Chasing moments meant to be
[Chorus]
Every waking minute, an entire waste of time
The will to forget and leave the world behind
I want to say I’ve lived a thousand lives before
That won’t fix the price I’ve paid for many more
For many more
[Verse 2]
So the aching spirit, the constant wonder why
Becomes inspiration, then it dies
Exploring all the ways in which I want to change
The meaning always goes away
[Chorus]
Every waking minute, an entire waste of time
The will to forget and leave the world behind
I want to say I’ve lived a thousand lives before
That won’t fix the price I’ve paid for many more
For many more
[Bridge]
Every waking minute, a fucking waste of time
Burning the candle then you die
The final moments when you realize
Your time is up close your eyes
All I’ve done is wasted, curl up and hide
Leaving behind one thousand lives
[Chorus]
Every waking minute, an entire waste of time
The will to forget and leave the world behind
I want to say I’ve lived a thousand lives before
That won’t fix the price I’ve paid for many more
For many more
