I've been fishing and can't catch a bite
I've been praying, ain't seen that light
I've been searching high to the low
I've been working, working, working myself to the bone
Now my skin starts to crawl
I'm gon' tear down these walls if I don't get out
I've lost heaven to hell
And I know very well I'm gon' get it back
There's just this waiting game
And I don't know how to play
It's enough of a fight staying alive anyway
Yes, there's this waiting game
And I don't know how to play
It's enough of a fight staying alive anyway
There's a voice in my pillow that's got it out for me
Cause it keeps mumbling, mumbling mumbling
All through the night, I can't sleep
I've been patient, oh, a change gonna come
But that damn clock don't stop ticking, ticking, ticking away
That's the storm
Now my skin starts to crawl
I'm gon' tear down these walls if I don't get out
I've lost heaven to hell
And I know very well I'm gon' get it back
There's just this waiting game
And I don't know how to play
It's enough of a fight staying alive anyway
Yes, there's this waiting game
Oh, I don't know how to play
It's enough of a fight staying alive anyway
