wait

The night is leaving but the blanket sky is dark
I sit with you alone, berated by your spark
The time is fleeting and the tension’s running high
We know what’s coming next will not be a lie

Wait
Light the flame and let it burn out
Wait
Shadows cast a light upon my doubt

Wait
Light the flame and let it burn out
Wait
Shadows cast a light upon my doubt

I’ll never know why I’m naive and so obtuse
The years that I’ll live to suffer self-abuse
And though the time I lose will kill when I am young
Patience pays the debts it owes to everyone

Wait
Light the flame and let it burn out
Wait
Shadows cast a light upon my doubt

Wait
Light the flame and let it burn out
Wait
Shadows cast a light upon my doubt

The prima donna minds her moments in the mirror
Studies of her prime reviewed in haunting fear
She looked to satisfy her life at such a speed
She never stopped to think of what she really needs

Wait
Light the flame and let it burn out
Wait
Shadows cast a light upon my doubt

Wait
Light the flame and let it burn out
Wait
Shadows cast a light upon my doubt

Wait
Light the flame and let it burn out
Wait
Shadows cast a light upon my doubt

Wait
Light the flame and let it burn out
Wait
Shadows cast a light upon my doubt
