Don’t Wait For Me

Don’t wait for me I won’t wait for you
the day is old and the night is new
I’ve got my life here on the line
I find myself here all the time
There’s nothing to do I don’t waste my time
So I put myself in the fire
better here than nowhere at all
cause that’s the only other place to go

Find myself just one more night find myself just one more fight
find myself just one more day before I find myself fade away
Find myself just one more drink find myself out on the brink
find myself just another man when the end comes to demand
Cause no one here gets to hesitate when called to lay among the graves

Light a candle on the windows edge
to remind me here’s where I lay my head
eventually we have to come back home
no matter the life we might have been shown
in glossy pictures it’s a perfect frame
a beautiful face and a beautiful name
but here tonight the faces have no shine
with nothing framed the edges aren’t defined
