Are We The Waiting?

Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown

Are we we are, are we we are the waiting and screaming

Are we the waiting

Am I the waiting

I will wait for you as I have always done.

I saw you then

I loved you then

I killed you then

And I will never let that go.

I marked you with my unclean touch

And I ran away to Hellewise

The sister of my greatest enemy

The only one to see inside

To see the thing Maya became

On the night so new so old.

I waited and I waited

For you

For you my love my one my only.

Starry nights, city lights coming down over me

Skyscrapers and stargazers in my head

Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown

I saw you first

I loved your eyes

So painful and

So sad, so wise.

I wouldn't let them kill you then

Because I knew you would never hurt me

You were too gentle

You are now and you were then.

I saw your teeth

I felt them bite me

I saw your madness

I felt you kill me.

It all went wrong when it all began

I found you and I lost again

In one night of love

One night of pain.

This dirty town was burning down in my dreams

Lost and found city bound in my dreams and screaming

I slept for days, for decades, centuries

Waiting to see your face again

No reason to live if you were not there

In my dreams was only you.

The only thing that kept me going

Was the thought of you

And that you would be born again.

Are we we are, are we we are the waiting and screaming

Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown

I woke again

You were here

I had to find you

Or die here alone.

I found you then in the land of the Sphinx

I loved you again

For how could I not.

But she followed me just

As I followed you

She then killed you while disguised as me

I should have killed her, but I promised you.

I can never take a life

Or break my sacred vow

I can never take a life

Or break my oath to you.

Forget-me-nots and second thoughts live in isolation

Heads or tails and fairy tales in my mind

You loved me again

Yet you killed me again

How could this be

And whom can I trust?

Each life I live

When I meet you

I must die before seventeen.

I see your eyes

So full of love

I see her eyes

That warn me again

I see your eyes

So full of hate

Before I can ask I'm dead again.

Love and hate walk hand in hand

This never-ending cycle of life and death

Seems like it will never stop and

Never give me answers.

Who is who

Who can I trust

And who is the one who kills me every time?

Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown

Rage and love the story of my life

The cycle can be broken

The cycle must be broken

Or I will find you just to lose you once again.

Only you can end it

You alone can stop her

Only then will we be free

To love and live again.

I will wait again

Because I always do

Because I am the waiting

Forever and for you.

The Jesus of suburbia is a lie and screaming

Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unkown

It is over, it is done

And I can see the morning sun

Of my eighteenth year

For the first time

Since I found you and the cycle then began.

I will die as all things must

And I will come back as Old Souls do

I will find you for another lifetime

And you will wait for me and we will start again.

Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown

Are we we are, are we we are the waiting and screaming

Are we the waiting

Am I the waiting

I will wait for you as I have always done and always will.
