Hayds – Wastin’ Away Lyrics

Artist: Hayds
Song: Wastin’ Away

Uh, we’re gonna start it off with a request from askin’ for some Odeon, “Wastin’ Away”. Canberra music once again, uh, we are on fire!
I’m sittin’ here
Just thinkin’ to myself
Slowly deteriorating

And fadin’ while I’m wastin’ away
Hey [Yeah]
I ain’t got a buck to my name and I’m stuck in the game
In the thunder and rain

And conduct in a way that erupts into flames
Like I ruptured a vein
I spit verses like a I had a lung full of clay
But Rome wasn’t built in a day

Give me a minute and I’ma hit it with a hammer and chisel
Until it crumbles away
Millions of buildings in the city
With a vision of livin’ within a concrete kingdom

Makin’ a killin’, and givin’ up every minute
Takin’ a few pills and fillin’ the voids with it
Next minute, don’t wanna be necked in it
Try to get better with medicine but ain’t with it

Administer painkillers and leavin’ their veins withered
Until it decays spirits, the images break mirrors
In the middle of a crisis, I’m riddled with a bit of virus
Brittle with a primitive mindset

Men and women are victims of television
They blind to spittin’ venom in our eyes like a python
And still we are prisoned within a confinement
Juvenile livin’

Inquisitive minds listen while they’re tryna divide us
Givin’ into infinite blindness
Why the hell am I broke?
It’s like a got soaked

Inside a well with no rope to hold
And so time will tell if I cope [I waste away
Won’t die to sell my own soul to try to fly
High up over this moat

I’ll stay afloat if I’m able hopin’
I’ll sail away in this boat [I waste away
Sometimes I give all I got
But it’s not enough to reap what I’ve sewn

Lettin’ go of the weight I hold
On my back to lighten the load [I waste away
I confide in my dreams
So when I’m asleep, I don’t feel alone

I’m just wastin’ away at the end of the day
I’m unable to grow [I waste away]
I was wastin’ away
And I wasn’t able to get up and face a thing

So I’ma chase the dream till I’m awakenin’
From a sleep so deep that I’ma break it in
Like “Who’s God is gonna save the queen?” See, I’m a king like KRS
And I’ma reign supreme, knowledge is a weapon that I major in

You got it locked, I got a key for every cage you in
Some people say that I’m deranged or insane in there
Go complain and winge
But never change a thing, you see, life can be a painful thing

And bring pleasure, you either give up or you play to win
And fake heads? I’m gonna cave ’em in
I may rearrange your chin, I ain’t afraid to sin
Just say the word and let the games begin

Got a hunger and I wonder what the day will bring
Instead of lettin’ all the rainin’ in, and I’ma keep on sayin’ it in
Got the weight of the world on my shoulders
Try to keep warm but it keeps gettin’ colder

Feelin’ like my life is already over
Gotta keep marching just like a soldier
Feels like I’m wastin’ away
Feels like I’m wastin’ away

Why the hell am I broke?
It’s like a got soaked
Inside a well with no rope to hold
And so time will tell if I cope [I waste away

Won’t die to sell my own soul to try to fly
High up over this moat
I’ll stay afloat if I’m able hopin’
I’ll sail away in this boat [I waste away

Sometimes I give all I got
But it’s not enough to reap what I’ve sewn
Lettin’ go of the weight I hold
On my back to lighten the load [I waste away

I confide in my dreams
So when I’m asleep, I don’t feel alone
I’m just wastin’ away at the end of the day
I’m unable to grow [I waste away]

Stuck in a rut, tryna wake up and get up [Uh
But it’s hard when you don’t give a f#ck
Self-loathin’, every day mopin’
Laying round, thinkin’ that I musta been struck [Uh

Bad luck got my hands in cuffs
But the bubble that I’m livin’ in’s about to bust
I’ve had enough, you know when you feel like Truman? [Yeah
Or Groundhog Day and the beat keeps loopin’?

Kinda like a taxi driver on my lonesome
[I’m close to explode
From livin’ in this new toxic society
Where social anxiety’s caused by sobriety

But by any means I strive to be clean
Free from the lies and the schemes
The line between shepherds and sheep is so fine
We all try to be in but we’re out of variety [Uh, what

And it’s easy to just blame the system [True
But I’m sick of thinkin’ I’m the victim
Go ahead and judge like you’re sh#t don’t stink
Who doesn’t have a junk food and sex addiction?

We’re still b#tchin’ ’bout race and religion
While politicians act like some full grown children
And women are still the —es of the world
That’s word to John Lennon, still livin’, they never killed him

So I’m balancin’ this scale
Tryna do right, God forbid we fail
I clear my mind, now it’s time to grind [Fingers crossed
I pray I don’t miss the rail

I can’t afford to bail, I got no time for losin’
Need to stick it and roll out like Nyjah Huston, now
Instead of wastin’ away
Today’s the day I man up and change my ways
