From Sit Resist2011

Lyrics

The Wait

My life's work is waiting for a train to come, Not driven by a living thing, No free-will will I wait for My masterpiece is running in place, Charting distances I run, Lifting blocks but building nothing, Touching each one and walking off screen This isn't moving, Break my legs with the strength of one-thousand, Won't you take a once very capable brain and make it quiet, Make it sane and never able to work the same again Now that the alkaline taste in my mouth It runs through my throat into my nose And I know it's going to kill me It's killing me, it's killing me, Oh, the way the wait is killing me
