ALKALINE TRIO - While You're Waiting lyrics

rate me

There's a hope in my head

That's been cut and bleed

Dry as your bloodshot eyes

And there's smoke in the air

And it's soon to clear

Revealing our demise

There are some who say

That it's a-okay

If it makes you feel all right

It's just way too bad

Now you're worse than sad

All locked up there in side

And I don't know how you feel

But I'll make you a deal

If you'll make it out alive

My shoulders and ears

Are all yours my dear

I Hope it comes as no surprise

You've been known to say

That you're a-okay

When you're feeling sick inside

I just want you to know

I got no place to go

Until the day you die

While you're waiting

Be thankful for your fingers

I'll be fading

With the colors of your pictures

'I'm not crying wolf,' you whisper,

'I'm really dead this time...

I'm really dead this time'

There's a hope in my head

That's been cut and bleed

Dry as your bloodshot eyes

And there's smoke in the air

And it's soon to clear

Revealing our demise

You've been known to say

That you're a-okay

When you're feeling dead inside

I just want you to know

I got no place to go

Until the day you die

While you're waiting,

Be thankful for your fingers,

I'll be fading

With the colors of your pictures

'I'm not crying wolf,' you whisper,

'I'm really dead this time...

I'm really dead this time'

They locked you up

They threw away the key

Sutured your mouth shut

Murdered your family

Right before your eyes

What could you do?

Right before your eyes

They took it all from you

Your contemplating

You hanging from your ceiling

Can't help hating

You for having that feeling

I'm not joking when I tell you

I'd miss you all the time

I already miss you all the time
