Lyrics
The Wait
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.
We get so hypnotized by
The imposed rhythms of the passing time
Urgency solely defined by
Degrees of dissatisfaction in our minds
When's the wait a cradle in which you're lulled from time to time
Soundly spun into an insensate lie
The light that burns in my eyes has faded
Baby just give me some time to find it again
My heart's lost touch with the world around me
I need that love back so I can try to begin again
When's the wait a cradle in which you're lulled from time to time
Soundly spun into an insensate lie
From where we stand, baby, things don't have to look so different
And lately I believe the truth can withstand any change in point of view
When's the distance an opiate net woven with the lifelines
Of those tiptoeing through your life
When's the wait a cradle in which you're lulled from time to time
Soundly spun into an insensate lie
