Wasted moments. We had a lot of them. Even though I believe I’ve done the right thing at the time, when I look back I realize I actually made my life a lot more difficult. Not an uncommon tale. I rarely learn anything from the mistakes, in fact if I went back I’d probably do the same stuff all over again.

But I am trying. I’m trying to be better, and more honest. I was thinking about those wasted moments one night while I was working on my next record. I started writing this song, finished it in front of my drum kit the next day. I already had all my songs for the new record, this felt like something different, born out of the same ideas but for different reasons. 

I recorded it with tempo because life to me is tempo, it’s rarely slow. This song is the connect from where I was, to where I’m going to be very soon.

Lyrics

Never learn
Never learn from before
Still return
I return expecting more
That’s how I waste the moment 
Everybody says
Living with this violence 
Littered with regret
I’ve been wasting moments
Strip them till they’re clean
Buried under silence 
Hidden in the leaves

Two degrees
Two degrees is not that for
Still you & me

(Bridge)

I always thought that I’d be alone
A million hearts, still wrapped around my throat
I hear them beat
I see them all, in front of me 
Where they don’t belong
The have no meaning 
Just fingers soft
& hands obscene.
