Waste Away Lyrics by Secrets

2016

[Intro: Wade Walters]
Hallelujah, I can set you free

[Verse 1: Richard Rogers]
I see the hole inside you, it's permanent
You dug it up, now you can bury it
Throw all the pills you want
Inside, but you can't fill it up
So just give it up

[Pre-Chorus: Wade Walters]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah I can set you free
From this reoccurring misery
That haunts you
Every night you sleep

[Chorus: Wade Walters & Richard Rogers]
But you just waste away
While you're slipping through the cracks
Slipping through the cracks
Swallowing everything
Just to get a little more
Get a little more fucked up
Waste away
While you're slipping through the cracks
Slipping through the cracks
Swallowing everything
Just to get a little more
Get a little more fucked up

[Verse 2: Wade Walters; Richard Rogers]
So when you're looking back
And you realize that I'm not there anymore
You can find me at the top
Where I've belonged my entire life
You're always dragging me down
You're always dragging me down, down, down
You try and pull me under
When you start to drown, drown, drown

[Bridge]
So just set me free
You are the weight beneath me tied to my feet
(You're always dragging me down)
(You're always dragging me down, down, down)
I'm not giving up, you're just giving in
Look at the mess you've made, look at the life you live
I'm done pretending (I'm done pretending)
(Stop your ways and make a change)
(Before you fade away and face your fate the hard way)

[Chorus: Wade Walters & Richard Rogers]
But you just waste away
While you're slipping through the cracks
Slipping through the cracks
Swallowing everything
Just to get a little more
Get a little more fucked up
Waste away
While you're slipping through the cracks
Slipping through the cracks
Swallowing everything
Just to get a little more
Get a little more fucked up
