Wasted Light

You wasted the night in sleeping, Dreams you’ll never keep While the Stars was softly calling From the silent ocean deep You let the dawn pass by you Like a stranger on your street Golden hours slipped through fingers While you stayed in retreat Time don’t knock forever It whispers, then it’s gone Every second you surrender Is a piece of what you become You wasted the night in sleeping And the day in eating While your soul was barely breathing In the rhythm of repeating Oh, the life you keep postponing Won’t wait for you to try You’re alive but not awakening Just watching time go by There’s a fire buried in you But you smothered every spark Trading purpose for distraction Choosing comfort over heart Every meal a quiet numbing Every nap a soft escape But the mirror’s getting louder With the truth you can’t sedate Time don’t knock forever It whispers, then it fades Every chance you never take Becomes a ghost that stays You wasted the night in sleeping And the day in eating While your soul was barely breathing In the rhythm of repeating Oh, the life you keep postponing Won’t wait for you to try You’re alive but not awakening Just watching time go by Wake up, wake up Hear the clock inside your chest You were made for more than this More than comfort, more than rest Break the silence, break the chain Let your heartbeat lead the way You don’t need another lifetime Just don’t waste another day No more nights lost in sleeping No more days just feeding Let your soul start believing There’s a reason you’re still breathing All the time you thought was gone Is a lesson, not goodbye You’re not late—just finally waking Now’s the moment—start to rise
