'''''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 wake wait
 Single filefile
 Remembering how 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 warnings word is on the wing I don't believe in anything Kept inside Afraid to rise Foolish pride We wait Off the trail We eat our tails I can't fail I wait And wait I hear the warnings 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}}
