you finally stare a terrible fear straight in the face
that's been there for years and for some reason it suddenly no longer
holds any power.. you walk straight through it, laughing.. this is what my song waiting is about.

---------------

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

you can try me with your rituals and your sweet preparations

I'm 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

the hope believes the lies and blocks the truth..

does it matter in the end if it's the hope that gets you through?

you think you got me now but you only got me trained,

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
