Waiting for the End

 

This is not the end, this is not the beginning

Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision

But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm

And though the words sound steady, something empty’s within them

We say yeah, with fists flying up in the air

Like we’re holding onto something that’s invisible there

‘Cause we’re living at the mercy of the pain and the fear

Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear

 

Waiting for the end to come

Wishing I had strength to stand

This is not what I had planned

It’s out of my control

 

Flying at the speed of light

Thoughts were spinning in my head

So many things were left unsaid

It’s hard to let you go

 

I know what it takes to move on

I know how it feels to lie

All I want to do is trade this life for something new

Holding on to what I haven’t got

 

Sitting in an empty room

Trying to forget the past

This was never meant to last

I wish it wasn’t so

 

I know what it takes to move on

I know how it feels to lie

All I want to do is trade this life for something new

Holding on to what I haven’t got

 

What was left when that fire was gone

I thought it felt right, but that right was wrong

All caught up in the eye of the storm

And trying to figure out what it’s like moving on

And I don’t even know what kind of things I said

My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead

So, I’m picking up the pieces now, where to begin

The hardest part of ending is starting again

 

All I want to do is trade this life for something new

Holding on to what I haven’t got

 

This is not the end, this is not the beginning

Just a voice like a riot, rocking every revision

(I’m holding on to what I haven’t got)

But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm

Though the words sound steady

Something empty’s within them

We say yeah, with fists flying up in the air

Like we’re holding onto something that’s invisible there

(Holding on to what I haven’t got)

‘Cause we’re living at the mercy of the pain and the fear

Until we get it, forget it, let it all disappear
