Wasted Life

All alone I stand 
Waiting for this to be done
With all my memories at hand
I'll live my life full til' that time comes

Thinking of all the friends that I have lost
I can't cry anger til' the end
Just think of those who it really cost
It will always burn inside to lose any friend

Never did he think when he woke up
Could this day be my last
Just the average day in the middle of life
When it's lived on the edge
While danger is looked in the face
You could just fall ledge
Taking to many risks
Many times death will miss 
We need to wake up or be left underground

Wasted life
Not to old
he never did
All he was told he could
Leaving behind a wife and kid

Talking this time
many may think I'm wrong
But I really must discuss my mind
Maybe the future's unknown
But I must discuss this waste
