about

ABOUT THE SONG:
Waster tells a tale of self worth, dictated by a sole individual. The struggle to believe in something pure and real, whilst ignoring the writing on the wall. A story about growth and acceptance and, most importantly, laying the building blocks to becoming the master of your own self worth.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Waster, why do you hang about?
As we're floating I'm just hoping that we'll head to the ground
While the moment that you stole is just a past time
The feeling of forever was the great lie

"Hey, you there" is what she said, but I decline to fall again
Before this goes up,
I wanna know what this meant to you before we went down avenues that stopped us dead
Don't wanna grow up
So now it's over
High time to find my way back

Waster, why do you hang about?
As we're floating I'm just hoping that we'll head to the ground
While the moment that you stole is just a past time
The feeling of forever was the great lie

A song away for me to break
The slightest touch is all it takes
You walk a straight line, but stalling this life
Bright lies, all night we might fall
But I'm still waiting on the phone like you're above it all

Waster, why do you hang about
As we're floating I'm just hoping that we'll head to the ground
While the moment that you stole is just a past time
The feeling of forever was the great lie

While we dance I just might sing aloud,
Stare down this reflection as I'm writing this confession down

Waster, why do you hang about
As we're floating I'm just hoping that we'll head to the ground
While the moment that you stole is just a past time
Denying I'm the chaser was the great lie

They rounded out 2021 with a debut festival appearance at the inaugural Knight & Day Festival alongside the likes of Parkway Drive.

PW have continually risen above any hurdles thrown their way - the sky is entirely the limit for this loveable quartet! ... more
