[Vocal Sample & Deca]
I'm just drifting
Uh huh
Waiting for things

[Verse 1]
Through the forest toward the source waiting to attain grace
Our paths diverge, but take us to the same place
Cast skyward, weightless when the chains break
Archetypal figures that shape-shift, and change face
Storm the gates, hit the safe, get the cake
While dog eats dog off a Donner family dinner plate
I'm in the clouds, in the crowd, in a visionscape
In effect, any minute now Imma get it straight
I've seen her face in my dreams since I was young (young)
A Beatrice, a queen, a mother that chides her son
That stumbled through his life when he couldn't find a hobby
And lived on the cliffs edge like the Anasazi
Saw my love walking down the street like a vision
A symbol of a hidden world, show me what I'm missing
(She smiled at him, but said nothing)
Then disappeared around the corner while I put the poison in my bloodstream
A child born in the briars and thorns
That tried to silence sirens and horns in the eye of the storm
The fire rages, the state calls their young to war
Some will turn their hatred into something more
And place guns on the floor
Breathe deep, darkness retreats
See my heart periodically, it's part of her mystique
Hold the keys to the city where the shepherds lead the sheep
And never ever ever get the mark of the beast
[Chorus]
I climbed the ladder then I fell again
I had a whole wardrobe full of skeletons
And old habits that arrested my development
In the woods at the mercy of the elements
Waiting for my love
You seen her?
I'm waiting for my love
They tell me I'm a dreamer
(Waiting for things)

[Verse 2]
Run and warn the village not to place trust
In machines built to subjugate the universe in us
The jungle's not safe after dusk
I saw hyenas tear a man to pieces and turned away in disgust
But some nights mother made me kill for my next meal
My dreams seemed more alive, the world felt less real
And in the full moon light, she looked beautiful
A fresh blanket of snow, a garland of human skulls
Her valleys and streams are my flesh, my veins
Like birds in flight, a neuron's firin' in my right brain
And words are weapons to sharp-shoot shots off
In the dark of night and hit the mark with precise aim
Lone pistolero too legit to cease
Gain the kingdoms of the world, lose your inner peace
Got no social skill but I can do this in my sleep
Jacques Cousteau the ocean to reveal the universe beneath
[Chorus]
I climbed the ladder then I fell again
I had a whole wardrobe full of skeletons
And old habits that arrested my development
In the woods at the mercy of the elements
Waiting for my love
You seen her?
I'm waiting for my love
They tell me I'm a dreamer
(Waiting for things)
