some words for a truly painful day, because i cannot think of my own

I'm a little lost, let me find my way
I'm a little dead, let me live
Been living in the past, let me rise today
Lead a selfish life, help me give
How long, how long, how long, how long we wait
Waiting for the light that might light our way
Waiting for the right place to fade
You were living under the reign of kings
You were living under the gun
I know it made you do a lot of things
You wish that you'd never done
How long, how long, how long, how long we hesitate
Waiting for the light that might light our way
Waiting for the right place to fade
Come along, lay down and talk to me
Tell me all your fear will allow
It doesn't matter who we thought we were
We ain't got time for that now
How long, how long, how long, how long we wait
Waiting for the light that might light our way
Waiting for the right place to fade
I swear, I swear, I swear it's not too late
Waiting for the light that might light our way
Waiting for the right place to fade



Tarantula passes by the window
No one takes it as a sign
No one cares which way the wind blows
Someone's got to change your mind
Every bone has been broken
All rumours lost at sea
Every word, every language has been spoken
Someone's got to set you free
I'm going to wait for you
I'm going to wait for you
Suicide days, suicide, suicide nights
In the wheelchair almost blind
Someone's going to have to pay the price
