A song about a relationship and the way that a relationship can bring you down.

A lo-fi mix of cynicism with pop smarts. I like to think I can put a song together alright enough, and I'm vain enough to think the words are good.

My name is Derek and this is my one man band called Deek V. I wrote and played all these songs myself. Enjoy.

Story behind the song

I just thought that the words went well with the melody. There isn't any external motivation for the words, although I do know people who are in this kind of stifling environment.

Lyrics

Waste Away 

Dark sky in the morning 
And he can’t stop yawning 
He looks around 
He’s not surprised 
He’s alone 

He drives down the alley 
In his broken down caddy 
She’s at the window 
She doesn’t know 
He’s below 

And while she’s cursing his name 
He’s doing the same 
He finds her straightening her hair 
When he gets upstairs 

And then she pulls him down 
And he hits his knee 
And he can’t stop bleeding 
And then she pulls him down 
They lie there and waste away 
Waste away 

Waiting in the bedroom 
While she hides in the bathroom 
He doesn’t see 
The tears that she 
Can’t wipe away 

And while she’s cursing his name 
He’s doing the same 
She finds him on the couch 
When she’s finally ready to come out 

And then he pulls her down 
And she hits the floor 
Like she has before 
And then he pulls her down 
They lie there and waste away 
Waste away 

~instrumental~ 

Dark sky in the morning 
And she can’t stop yawning 
She looks around 
She’s by her self 
But not alone 

And then she pulls him down 
And he can’t decide 
If he should laugh or die 
And then she pulls him down 
They lie there and waste away 
They lie there 

And then he pulls her down 
And she’s made to feel 
So illogical 
And then he pulls her down 
They lie there and waste away 
Waste away
