Wait

Sittin' watching the tide

Sinking into the time

Shifting under the eyes

Sittin' watching the tide

A single change of a waveform

Captured on tape

Another call on my cellphone

Rustles my grave

Hold on to the sticks in your pocket

Pictures in a locket

Eyeballs in your sockets and

Wait

Wait

Wait

Licking the edge of the blade

Sticking a stamp on the page

Afternoon rose-colored shade

Sticking a stamp on the page

Planting seeds in the thoughts

I've been chewing for days

Pulling strings to the wings of the

Birds of prey

Hold on to the silence all around us

Pirates on the Sabbath

Pins inside the fabric and

Wait

Wait

Wait

Committing unseen crimes

Reading the tales of time

Finding all the words that rhyme

Committing unseen crimes

Get lost in the sauce

That I made yesterday

Live in fear for the year

When your soil turns grey

Hold on to the sticks in your pocket

Pictures in a locket

Eyeballs in your socket and

Wait

Wait

Wait
