Nothing Wasted

I needed stop wasting time
Start living my life and be there for the real things
The costume is off
The secret is known
In the back of my mind
Always knew that my kind couldn't do this forever
Hide behind fancy words
Counting syllables first
If there are places in the world that are true
I wanna be there with you
And leave whatever holds me back in the dust
Will you be friends I walk with
Slowly moving
No matter what the others say
Slowly moving
Towards a new and brighter day
Stuck in patterns of mind
I got left far behind didn't care for pretending
Never bothered to start
Never acted the part
But there's no fool in disguise
There's no woodwind from Ives that could answer the question
Now whatever I lack
Keep on staring me back
If there are places that can last life and more
I will pick up and follow
Come back in focus take a look at us now
Standing a whole lot taller
Slowly moving
No matter what the others say
Slowly moving
Towards a new and brighter day
Slowly but shurely
Colors appear in the light
Slowly but shurely
Nothing is wasted tonight
