What are we saving for? There's a smell of stale fear that's reeking from our skins The drinking never stops because the drinks absolve our sins We sit and grow our roots into the floor What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for? So give me something to believe 'Cause I am living just to breathe And I need something more to keep on breathing for So give me something to believe Some thing's always coming, you can hear it in the ground It swells into the air with the rising, rising sound And never comes but shakes the boards and rattles all the doors What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for? So give me something to believe 'Cause I am living just to breathe And I need something more to keep on breathing for So give me something to believe I am hiding from some beast but the beast was always here Watching without eyes because the beast is just my fear That I am just nothing, now it's just what I've become What am I waiting for? It's already done So give me something to believe 'Cause I am living just to breathe And I need something more to keep on breathing for So give me something to believe And I need something more to keep on breathing for So give me something to believe
