pearl jam - life wasted

you're always saying that there's something wrong

i'm starting to believe it's you're 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

all locked 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
