Waiting

There’s a darkness deep inside of me

Waiting to arrive

I feel it crawling in my soul

I know it’s still alive

There’s an emptiness I cannot fill

With everything I do

All I know is I want you

But you don’t want me to

So I’m waiting

For you to care

Yes I’m waiting

But you’re not there

Yes I’m waiting

But you’re not there

Every time I cut myself

I feel it in my soul

Every time I slash my skin

I leave a deeper hole

I want to scar my body

Like you did my lonely heart

I want to save our loving

But it died before the start

So I’m waiting

For you to care

Yes I’m waiting

But you’re not there

Yes I’m waiting

But you’re not there

Everything I had to give

I gave it all to you

Everything I feel inside

Has turned a darker blue

I feel my demons on my back

A driving me below

All the blackness in my head

Has started to show

So I’m waiting

For you to care

Yes I’m waiting

But you’re not there

Yes I’m waiting

But you’re not there

So it’s time to meet my maker

In this ugly dance of life

It’s time to turn the grave into

My eternal morbid wife

The end has shown itself to me

And soon it will arrive

No longer me a foolish toy

No longer me alive

So I’m waiting

For you to care

Yes I’m waiting

But you’re not there

Yes I’m waiting

But you’re not there

So I’m waiting

For you to care

Yes I’m waiting

But you’re not there

Yes I’m waiting

But you’re not there
