Xalt - Waste Your Life Away

Waste Your Life Away


Still alive the morning after
Where did the night go, filled with laughter
Now your head explodes in pain
Tonight you'll do the same

What started as a game of chance
Now tells your body when to dance
It puts the blinders on your eyes
You never see his lies

You tell me now, you have control
I stand and watch the strings he pulled
Tell me who pulls the strings
It's not the King of Kings

Close your eyes
Say Goodbye
Feel no pain
Waste your life away
Feel the spell
Awake in Hell
Waste your life away

Wasted years make wasted life
Your wrists are held to sharpened knife
You never try to pull away
The scars are there to stay

How do you live out on the ledge
And never worry about the edge
Another step and then you'll fall
Your will can't stop it all

I see you hold the loaded gun
You shoot to kill or shoot to run
The shot rings out inside your head
The party's gone, you're dead

Now we lay you down to sleep
We prayed ''Dear Lord, his soul to keep"
You've already made your choice
You never heard His voice

The only answer to be found
To break the chains of being bound
Are in Christ Jesus, can't you see
He sets the captives free

Turn your eyes up to the Son
Claim the things you did undone
Call out upon His name today
Don't waste your life away
