The Waiting
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You do your best not to notice
The crumbling ground beneath your feet
The rest of life is waiting for us
But what we've done will never leave
Fate still holds us
We work our life to ease a conscience
And fill the Earth to set it free
'Cause truth will rise up to the surface
And present words won't change a thing
But we can't shake the screams in the night
And our hearts race 'cause the dreams never die
But we try to drown these memories
Over, over waiting, never sleep
There's absolution for what's stolen
At least we believed it all along
To end the doubt to cut us open
We must learn to live without what's gone
In the wake of the moment
'Cause we can't shake the screams in the night
And our hearts race 'cause the dreams never die
But we try to drown these memories
Over, over waiting, never sleep
And the waiting
Watching us
There's absolution for what's stolen
At least we believed it all along
But we can't shake the screams in the night
And our hearts race, 'cause the dreams never die
But we try to drown these memories
Over, over waiting, never sleep
Over, over waiting, never sleep
Never sleep
Though we try to drown these memories
Over, over waiting, never sleep
(Waiting, watching now)
(Waiting, watching now)
