Alkaline Trio - While You're Waiting

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
