Hurry Up and Wait

lets skip the part about building castles today

i’ve seen the pendulum swinging back to the grey tones

i’ve heard the best of them crawling into the cave

i’ve touched the edge of the robe that’s seen better days

and the fires keep burning

life keeps turning

everything from cold to colder

i sold miss universe a ticket to the fates

she lost her license in a room full of toy soldiers

i saw the future she said hurry up and wait

i take directions like dust on the bitter bowl

you showed me everything i could hope to relate

you mouthed the words

that pushed these dreams into plainsong

you are the reason i’m crawling back to the grave

you are the place that i start when nothing remains
