Matthew Good - Waiting For The Great Destruction lyrics

Waiting for the lights to change The raindrops skip the wiper blades The buildings fall, the sky it fades And it carries me down If you gave me the chance to be sincere Do you think they'd let me out of here Can I walk out into traffic If I promise not to make a sound And the look upon your face Would be chiseled there forever As the gla** came through the windshield And the car lifted from the ground And maybe at my funeral They'll say I found the answer They'll say I had it coming They'll say I was just sittin' around Waiting for the great destruction I am waiting for Holden Caulfield to call Waiting for the great destruction I am waiting for the sky, the sky To open up Make me feel small Like a bird in bad weather These engines fully stall And time enough To watch the free world fall Under the black and blue hand or glove It will only take a saw Waiting for the lights to change The lies they learn to rearrange The truth they hold to exchange And it carries me down Second hand to the greater fear These words of promise disappear So I wrote 'em down to make it clear But nothing is what I found And if it was really all that easy Don't you think I'd have given up by now And if the questions had an answer They wouldn't be believable out loud And you know that I would tell you Even if it sounded like a lie The funny thing about the truth is that No one warned us to wonder why And I will leave the car door open As a symbol of my freedom Like the riddles of a dead man Who didn't always need them And in the end they'll say I'm crazy 'Cause I never give a reason He always talked about tomorrow As if he were always leaving And I am waiting for the great destruction I am waiting for Holden Caulfield to call Waiting for the great destruction I am waiting for the sky The sky to fall I am waiting for the sky I'm waiting for the sky Waiting for the sky
