How many times did you run to the hills
To conceal your sins behind the mist
You try and hide
But sometimes things shine bright
When they're kept in the dark.
You left me waiting
Shivers and smoke were blinding me
All I could do was clinch at a father's last breath
Why wait?
Just end the man, now.
It's not like his world has never done it, before...
So crow your eyes old ones.
Your lonely lips pressed on lonely tumblers.
Keep your hearts on ice
And your eyes wide shut.
To be the son who never turned his back.
Still singing on the edge of highways.
You left me here to give us comfort.
Just come back home and share our pain.
Why wait?
Just tell me why wait?
I'm still waiting to tell you (waiting)
I'm still waiting to tell you that I'm not alone.
