Lyrics:

Waiting,
For cycles to end and new ones to start.
Fading,
As we try to mend the cracks in our heart.
Failing,
To keep on pretending that we make the art.
Trading,
A bit of ourselves for time.

Oh how relaxing,
and relieving,
you got it now go hide the meaning,
the universe provides
time to tell but times,
got a trick it was concealing.

Be patient and watch
all things around you change,
the crook that became a king
the looser who's now in lead.
The poor becoming the rich
The weakling become the strong
The wise men are all now dead
The dead are now called the wise.

And you're waiting for a day
(waiting for a day)
waiting for a day
You're still waiting for
a day that is made
to never come.

What you love is not in spacetime
and you are what you love.
Without movement, rivers turn to swamps
Without movement, artist becomes machine
Without movement, the wind will start to reek
Without movement, life becomes so still
and death will turn to black.

Words don't mean anything
without action
they don't mean anything
your intentions.

Sustain the wait and see
the cost becoming the timeline,
the burning of the candle
while all is still black.

How mesmerizing
and hypnotizing
we wait until we find ourselves rising
Self victimizing
Ego disguising
to where we lose our recognizing

Convenience is what's fueling the drive inside
addictions are all excuses to maintain the wait
waiting games are not keeping a highest score
eventually they'll all crash down on all those who play.

Wlak CUT THE SHIT...HAHA

Everybody means well
when they give us advices
having waited so long
doing it all over again
all over again

Stop! you liar
I can see all the lies you make
under the table
CUT THE SHIT
Ignore me cause life
showed you enough blood

I can feel all the piercing eyes
Out to get you so
CUT THE SHIT
Ignore me cause life
is about hard work.

Boring days now pass HAHA
Covered with laughter
Run from what you're after
No one's on your side
all your friends have died
While you waited for disaster.

I can't finish these words cause I'm also waiting
For people to see my work instead of me sharing
If i don't allow this out
who will be hearing these songs
will be words in my head
no one will even know of..

And I'm waiting for a day
(waiting for a day)
waiting for a day
I'm done waiting for
this day, the day has
finally come.

What you love is not in spacetime
and you are what you love.
Without movement, rivers turn to swamp
Without movement, artist becomes machine
Without movement, the wind will start to reek
Without movement, life becomes so still
and death will turn to black.

Everybody's waiting of somebody else to clarify
All while asking for some reasons that could help to justify
Cut the crap don't wait for cycles to repeat it doesn't end
Cut the crap don't fade in vein no time can heal what you defend
Cut the crap true artists simply can't be forced to make amends
Cut the crap no trade is fair if what you trade with you do not have.
