lyrics

All this time
I’ve been raising my hand
I’ve been waiting my turn in line

Oh my God,
I’ve been selling me short
I’ve been taking me for a ride

It stops right now
Without explanation
Without second thinking it to bed

For the thousandth time—
Love live agitation
And off with all the levelheaded heads.

All that bile
And all that precious anger
I should hang it in a frame up on my wall

And the golden gods
And all those easy answers
And the years lost making plans to break the fall

While I was
Waiting on the dice to roll my way
Waiting on the law to plead my case
Getting awful bored
of taking orders from a lord
who's selling dreams I can't afford
and always pointing with his sword
where I go next.

Oh my God
I’ve been sitting silent
I've been getting by on denial

And there's no way down
but the rope you can't rely on
and you get tired of standing by after a while.
