It never threw me like this   ignored   A head buried in the sand   to retort.   If it ever came down   To be a man   Or break my fall   Peel back the skin again   So I know.   And I wait, and I wait, to live this damn thing out   And I wait, and I wait, to be the thing I never was before.   A head case    I can't refrain   All of my flaws   Rebound   Or rationalize   Just to stall   Well, I'm well aware   And I think you care   From your easy chair   Remission is all    that I can't afford.   And I wait, and I wait, to live this damn thing out   And I wait, and I wait, to be the thing I never was    And I wait, and I wait, to live this damn thing out   And I wait, and I wait, to be the thing I never was before.   And I wait, and I wait, to live this damn thing out   And I wait, and I wait, to be the thing I never was    And I wait, and I wait, to live this damn thing out   And I wait, and I wait, to be the thing I never was before
