Lyrics

   Weeds grown 
   Should have known 
   On our own

   We wait

   Single file

   An empty smile 
   And all the while 
   We wait

   I hear the word is on the wing 
   I don't believe in anything

   Cast aside

   This great divide 
   With foolish pride 
   We wait

   Off the trail

   We eat our tails 
   Bound to fail

   And wait

   I hear the word is on the wing 
   I don't believe in anything
   A chorus of voices rise to sing 
   I don't believe in anything

  Used to 
  Believe in you 
  Yet all we do 
  Is wait
