While You're Waiting

Alkaline Trio · Remains [2007]

There's a hope in my head

That's been cut and bled

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-ok

If it makes you feel alright

This is way too bad

Now you're worse than sad

All locked up there inside



And I don't know how you feel

But I'll make you a deal

If u make it out alive

My shoulders and ears are yours my dear

I hope it comes as no surprise

You've been known to say that you're a-ok

When you're feeling sick inside

I just want you to know

I've 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 whispered

I'm really dead this time

I'm really dead this time



There's a hope in my head

That's been cut and bled

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-ok

When you're feeling dead inside

I just want you to know

I've 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 whispered

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



Contemplating

You hanging from your ceiling

Can't help hating

You for having that feeling

I'm not joking when I tell you

I miss you all the time

I already miss you all the time
