Running the Clock

 

Waitin' for the beat to drop, I'm waitin' for my lines to start

Waitin' for my pen to stop writing from a broken heart

I'm waitin' for my strength, but it'll never come

Yeah I'm waitin' on a break, but I just come undone

Waitin' to recover, yes I'm waitin' to feel better

Yeah I'm waitin' on a day where I'm not stuck under the weather

Waitin' for my happiness, my wish upon a star

Waitin' just to end it all, but where do I even start

 

I'm waitin' to be feeling great, I'm waiting for that single day

When I wake up and I realize that everything's gonna be okay

Waitin' just to smile, god it's been a while,

Waitin' 'til I can write in a totally different style

Waitin' to be happy, yes I'm waitin' just to love again

I'm waitin' for your Heaven to say that it'll let me in

Waitin' for my sanity, my heart that I once lost

Waitin' on my humanity, instead of this sorrow I've wrought

 

 

Waitin' til I can say every second isn't stolen

'Til this life I live isn't a life that's got any worth holdin'

Waitin' to hold on, but I just keep fallin'

Waitin' to let go, but I just keep stallin'

When every second of every day, is somethin' that I just can't take

And every minute that I keep livin' is hurting me in every way

I just keep on waiting, I just keep on hating

I just keep suffering and it's not dissipating

 

Waitin' for my love again, I'm waitin' for my world to end,

I'm waitin' for the one that'll save from all this this pain that I'm in

But I know they'll never come, so it seems that I'm just done

Now I'm all alone, and I've got no hope, and I never could've won

I thought I could recover, yes I thought that I could rise above

That my dreams would come to be, that I would find my broken love

I was waiting for my happiness, that wish upon a star

But now I know how to end it all, and I know just where to start

 

I was waitin' for a smile, for a day I could be happy

But depression's got a hold of me, how could I let it trap me

I was waiting for some strength, but now I know that I've lost

I was hoping for a break, but I never knew the cost

Now I'm waitin' for the bells to toll, for Death to take me back

Waitin' for the seconds I stole, just to feel the whip crack

Waitin' for this life to end, that's my wish upon a star

I thought I once had control, how could I fall so far
