Jim Stapley Laid To Waste
Hanging clothes, clinging to what's left of me
I'm blowing through the memories, and shaking through my sleep
Overtones, burning through the misery
Promises made shake the dirt under my feet
Well she said it would happen this way,
And I believed it anyway
Now I'm holding on for answers, when I don't have time to wait
Biting through my finger nails and waiting for the day
When I've run out excuses, and the debts are all to pay,
Hoping my luck will change, before I'm laid to waste
Aching bones, slammed 'til they're breaking,
The beating we've been taking, I could bleed for weeks
Gotta go, where ever I need to be
Cos it seems a waste to me, hanging round for keeps
Well I'm holding on for answers, when I don't have time to wait
Biting through my finger nails and waiting for the day
When I've run out excuses, and the debts are all to pay,
Hoping my luck will change, before I'm laid to waste
And I could save myself
With what I've been given
So much more than someone else
I should save myself, today
Now I'm holding on for answers
When I don't have time to wait
Biting through my finger nails
Well I'm holding on for answers, when I don't have time to waste
Biting through my finger nails, waiting for the day
When I've run out excuses, and the debts are all to pay,
Hoping my luck will change, before I'm laid to waste
