ive been building my house in vain with bricks of lies and stones of pain out on the sandy flats that flood in the rain i am not waiting anymore i am red in tooth and claw gods chosen child bloody from the brawl this bitterness was killing me all along i am not waiting anymore i spent a lifetime of noise trying to tell my story muddled in the darkness like peter waiting for the morning he who goes out weeping carrying seed to sow returns with songs of joy and abundant life to show i have read between the lines i have been wrong every time its burned up on the altar but i am fine i am not waiting anymore i am not waiting anymore i am not waiting anymore
