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.
