Alkaline Trio - Time To Waste Lyrics






There's someone down below blowing you a kiss.
They watch from their windows
as all arms fall to their sides,
and all eyes fix on the death of tomorrow.
And you found everything you need
to make a life complete,
completely revolting and they have safety and relief
For sale down the street.
I see you in line every day

You had time to waste and I'm not sorry,
such a basket case, hide the cutlery.
I had time to kill, it's dead and buried.
You've got guts to spill but no one trustworthy.

These creatures are waking up in these dark trees.
Awaiting like vultures.
Eyes roll back turn white in time to feed
They salivate in hunger.
for you, and everything they need
to make a death complete,
completely unnatural and salvation lies
behind those dead eyes that watch you while you sleep every night, and

You had time to waste and I'm not sorry,
such a basket case, hide the cutlery.
I had time to kill, it's dead and buried.
You've got guts to spill but no one trustworthy.

You had time to waste and I'm not sorry,
such a basket case, hide the cutlery.
I had time to kill, it's dead and buried.
You've got guts to spill but no one trustworthy.

  1. j.... c....

    acabo de ver un comercial de sprite de una morra que no se corta los pelos de las axilas y me dio un chingo de asco y me quede bien pinche traumado ;-;

  2. s.... r....

    why is matt so FUCKING hot in this video and every live version g o d i love that man

  3. R.... T....

    Whos blink 182 ? Is he in this band too???

  4. L.... R....

    NOSTALGIA 😐

  5. s.... s....

    my mother says conor oberst is a lyrical genius.i think matt is more of one

  6. l.... ....

    Still like this song but the production is so clean on this track, it's off-putting.

  7. A.... T....

    That guitarist is so Egyptian.

  8. A.... T....

    Totally know your type of suicide. Lucky everyone was watching. Just a Chez. Cute, too.

  9. p.... ....

    This song would be still cool in 3089 :)

  10. C.... S....

    Thanks to my dad for giving me such a good band to listen to.

  11. S.... ....

    At least 100.000 of the views is my contribution.

  12. E.... T....

    I love how this was uploaded in 2005

  13. R.... M....

    song: 4k
    video: 1p

    R.... M....

    Har har low quality

  14. a.... M....

    How the fuck this so ol

    a.... M....

    Because videos have been being uploaded since 2005.

  15. B.... O....

    TAKE ME BACK TO 240p

    B.... O....

    Definitely don't take me back to when everyone made lame annoying jokes about video quality... when they weren't just complaining about it.

  16. s.... ....

    Yo, what rhymes with "sorry"? "Cutlery," of course! YES! Great song.

  17. J.... K....

    I will listen to this song everyday of my life

  18. J.... L....

    The intro is epic and always will be

  19. L.... S....

    Great song

  20. P.... P....

    Hey 2019 matt switch to blink 182 haha

    P.... P....

    actually, he joined blink years ago. and i believe he is still with alkaline trio.

  21. P.... L....

    tragedy erase my memory and all i see it just black rain

  22. h.... 1....

    Black rain from blink 182

  23. B.... F....

    Kickass song and album, and I love that the fuse watermark is on this. It invokes so much nostalgia of the time I discovered the music that helped to define my life and outlook and relationships.

  24. J.... D....

    Been listening to this song nonstop since it came out.. Still as powerful as the first time. I would cry if I was capable of such a thing. Also Matt saved Blink from Tom

    J.... D....

    Oh my gosh, shut up... Matt didn't save anything. California is mediocre and Nine is garbage. This song alone takes a huge dump on both albums.

  25. C.... P....

    Sounds like it’s obvious who wrote “black rain” on NINE, eh?

    C.... P....

    i bet you heard about alkaline when matt joined blink 182. I dont have a problem with it.

    C.... P....

    ​@silverscreen studios - actually... I have been listening to the trio since like... 2002 or so? I was introduced to them via the first atticus comp back in the day with "Jacked on green beers". But thanks for the assumptions lol. I was simply making an observation. Don't make me get the flyswatter!

    C.... P....

    @Chance Productions ok

  26. L.... M....

    Definately feel old now I seen this live when I was a teen

  27. Z.... Z....

    2019 anyone?

  28. M.... W....

    Blink 182 is the mcdonalds of music used to be good now stinks, now its about money and production , the passion for their craft is no longer there.

  29. M.... W....

    Blink 182 doesnt have the talent to create this music, alkaline trio will always be above them ,

  30. J.... V....

    This was such a damm good song. still gives me chill to this day.

  31. S.... 7....

    I remember seeing this song on MTV2 as I was sobering up after a night of drinking during a beach trip after my senior year of HS back in 2005. I had heard of the band before then, but I kept forgetting to really look into them. My buddy and I were floored by the song, and I've been a huge fan ever since.

  32. T.... a....

    2019 passing by...

  33. E.... K....

    2019,anyone?

  34. J.... B....

    One of the best songs I have ever heard, this is an insanely good song

  35. R.... W....

    Fucking LOVE the vocal harmonies during the chorus, fantastic song!

  36. A.... M....

    There's someone down below, blowing you a kiss
    They watch from their windows
    As all arms fall to their sides
    And all eyes fix on the death of tomorrow
    And you found everything you need
    To make a life complete

    For sale down the street
    I see you in line every day

    You had time to waste and I'm not sorry

    I had time to kill it's dead and buried
    You've got guts to spill but no one trustworthy

    They salivate with hunger
    For you and everything they need
    To make a death complete
    Completely unnatural and salvation lies
    Behind those dead eyes that watch you while you sleep every night and

    You had time to waste and I'm not sorry
    Such a basket case, hide the cutlery
    I had time to kill it's dead and buried
    You've got guts to spill but no one trustworthy

    You had time to waste and I'm not sorry
    Such a basket case, hide the cutlery
    I had time to kill it's dead and buried
    You've got guts to spill but no one trustworthy

    E.... O....

    ELLY OLY I offer mohican rifle

  77. F.... ....

    IMO Alkaline is the better band all around musically but Blink has always had a way of connecting to a wider audience cause they were super goofy and maybe a little more relatable. true fans usually love both bands. 2 pretty similar bands, it makes sense Blink decided to add matt to the band.

  78. C.... ....

    I love this video. The cars are badass too

  79. T.... D....

    I know I'm a youngster but I'm rocking out since freshman year

  80. �.... ....

  85. L.... B....

    My teacher suggested this to me XD

  86. W.... R....

    matt is good singer his own band.. but in the blink182 hmmm i dont think so

  87. T.... V....

    fuck I'm old

  88. M.... ....

    i miss my 16's Msn, games, girls... Now everything is suck ! 'everything '

  89. C.... P....

    They were in their prime here. They had just bridged the gap between punk songs and anthemic eargasms. They would later start to fuck their sound up a little. But five albums of flawless glory left in their wake, still my favorite band by far. Funny thing, they barely play new shit at their shows. They know who they are and always let it shine through. Love these guys. Just the best stuff around.

  90. A.... S....

    Damn, out of no where this song popped in my head today after not hearing since highschool 13 years ago haha. Thanks youtube!
