'''''NOTE: THESE LYRICS ARE TRANSCRIBED BY EAR AND MAY BE INCORRECT''''' We've Weeds grown Should've have known All alone On our own
 We wakewait
 Single file
 Full of fire An empty smile Remembering how And all the while And now am I awake We wait

I hear the warnings word is on the wing I don't believe in anything Kept inside Cast aside
 Afraid to rise This great divide Foolish With foolish pride We waitwait
 Off the trailtrail
 We eat our tails I can't fail Bound to fail
 I wait And wait I hear the warnings word is on the wing I don't believe in anything I hear the A chorus of voices rise and to sing But I don't believe in anything Used to Believe in you Yet all we do Is wait {{succession box | title=[[Welcome Oblivion (album)|Welcome Oblivion]] | before= [[Ice Age]]| after= [[Too Late, All Gone]]| track= 6}}
