Life Wasted Lyrics

You're always saying that there's something wrong.
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along.
Death came around, forced to hear it's song
And know tomorrow can't be depended on

Seen the home inside your head.
Unlocked doors and unmade beds

Open sores unattended
Let me say just once that

I have faced it, a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.
I escaped it,a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.
Having tasted, a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.

The world awaits just up the stairs
Leave the pain for someone else
Nothing back there for you to find
Or was it you you left behind


You're always saying you're too weak to be Strong.
You're harder on yourself than just about Anyone

Why swim the channel just to get this far?
Halfway there, why would you turn around?

Darkness comes in waves...tell me,
Why invite it to stay?

You're one with negativity
Yes, comfort is an energy
But why let the sad song play?

I have faced it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again

Oh I escaped it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again

Having tasted, a life wasted
I'm never going back again

Oh I erased it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again

What a killer opening track,....

This song I think is kind of along the lines of Save You,... Except with much more life in the delivery,...

I mean I loved Save You, but the vocal delivery was kinda lacking,.,...

The most kick ass line in the song,... You're always saying you're too weak to be Strong. You're harder on yourself than just about Anyone

This is the best PJ leadoff track ever. It is one of their best songs and is becoming a hit, I heard it on the radio the other day. But, I have to ask, what is the album concept? I mean the artwork. It has an avocado on the cover and Vedder with a bunch of bloody heads inside. The booklet has a bunch of sculptures and weird photos. I think it looks cool, but what is the meaning behind it?

I think that it pretty much means, why go half way just to fail? If you made it this far, you can surely keep going. Dont waste life away.
