The Waiting

(album: Kings & Thieves - 2011)

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
Waiting, never sleep
Never sleep
Though we try to drown these memories
Over, over
Waiting, never sleep

(Waiting, watching now...)
