Lyrics

saw all the signs of your imminent arrival,
you wore the face of certain death
First you play it loose and casual
killing those around me
now you're standing right in front with unwavering eyes..
But I walk, I walk, I just keep walking
I walk, I walk, I just keep walking

So tell me all about your cruel creative plans
and close the door behind you
Try me with your rituals and your sweet preparations
We're holding out for your return so don't be late

'cause I'll wait, I'll wait , I'll be here waiting
I'll wait, I'll wait , I'll be here waiting

So throw me to the lions and I'll tickle them to sleep
I might like that
What magic carpet?
It's just some old rug that you can pull out from my feet
Hope believes the lies and blocks the truth..
does it matter in the in if it's the hope that gets you through?
You think you got me now but you only got me trained,
there's no loss that we can't overturn into our greatest gain

Your thunderstorm can't scare me
In fact it only lights my way
So put me down and just watch me while I surface
You're just waiting for the moment that I cave..

well you wait, you wait
just you wait..
