The faces all around me

They don′t smile, they just crack

Waiting for our ship to comeBut our ship's not coming back

We do our time like pennies in a jar

But what are we saving for?

What are we saving for?

There′s a smell of stale fear

And it's reeking from our skins

The drinking never stops

Because the drinks absolve our sins

We sit and grow our roots into the floor

But what are we waiting for?

What are we waiting for?

So give me something to believe

'Cause I am living just to breathe

And I need something more

To keep on breathing for

So give me something to believe

Something′s always coming

You can hear it in the ground

It swells into the air

With the rising, rising sound

And never comes but shakes the boards

And rattles all the doors

What are we waiting for?

What are we waiting for?

So give me something to believe

′Cause I am living just to breathe

And I need something more

To keep on breathing for

So give me something to believe

I am hiding from some beast

But the beast was always here

Watching without eyes

Because the beast is just my fear

That I am just nothing

Thar that's just what I′ve become

What am I waiting for?

It's already done

Oh

So give me something to believe

′Cause I am living just to breathe

And I need something more

To keep on breathing for

So give me something to believe

And I need something more

To keep on breathing for

So give me something to believe
