Field Report - I Am Not Waiting Anymore lyrics

rate me

I am red in tooth and claw

God’s favorite child, bloodied from the brawl

This bitterness was killing me all along

I am not waiting anymore

I am not waiting anymore

Blowing through time like nickel slots

In a windowless room, on a credit card: flash it like a semaphore

A vague, drafty metaphor

I am not waiting anymore

I’ve been a keen eyed observer of the movements of concentric parts

Of bodies of bones and breasts and unmapped chambers of hearts

Sand in hand has turned to glass

A Jeroboam filled with a life that’s passed

Toss it off the balcony and listen for the crash

I am not waiting anymore

I spent eight long years working on my screenplay

It’s a teen movie with young actresses that plays to the middle aged

I have read between the lines

I have been wrong every time

It burned up on the altar, but I am fine

I am not waiting anymore

I am not waiting anymore

I am not waiting anymore
