"Wait It Out"
-
0:06 - 0:10♫ Where do we go from here? ♫
-
0:10 - 0:13♫ How do we carry on? ♫
-
0:13 - 0:17♫ I can't get beyond the questions ♫
-
0:20 - 0:22♫ Clambering for the scraps ♫
-
0:22 - 0:26♫ in the shatter of us, collapsed ♫
-
0:26 - 0:31♫ It cuts me with every could have been ♫
-
0:34 - 0:38♫ Pain on pain on play, repeating ♫
-
0:38 - 0:44♫ With the backup, makeshift life in waiting ♫
-
0:48 - 0:51♫ Everybody says ♫
-
0:54 - 0:56♫ time heals everything ♫
-
1:00 - 1:03♫ What of the wretched hollow? ♫
-
1:06 - 1:09♫ The endless in between? ♫
-
1:09 - 1:12♫ Are we just going to wait it out? ♫
-
1:12 - 1:15♫ There is nothing to see here now ♫
-
1:15 - 1:18♫ Turning the sign around ♫
-
1:18 - 1:25♫ We're closed to the Earth 'til further notice ♫
-
1:25 - 1:28♫ A crumbling cliche case ♫
-
1:28 - 1:31♫ crumpled and puffy faced ♫
-
1:31 - 1:37♫ caught dead in the stare of a thousand miles ♫
-
1:39 - 1:43♫ All I want, only one street level miracle ♫
-
1:45 - 1:47♫ I'll be an out and out born again ♫
-
1:47 - 1:49♫ from none more cynical ♫
-
1:50 - 1:53♫ Everybody says ♫
-
1:56 - 2:00♫ that time heals everything ♫
-
2:02 - 2:07♫ But what of the wretched hollow? ♫
-
2:08 - 2:11♫ The endless in between? ♫
-
2:11 - 2:14♫ Are we just going to wait it out? ♫
-
2:15 - 2:18♫ And sit here cold? ♫
-
2:18 - 2:21♫ We will be long gone by then ♫
-
2:21 - 2:23♫ In lackluster ♫
-
2:23 - 2:27♫ In dust we lay around old magazines ♫
-
2:27 - 2:30♫ Fluorescent lighting sets the scene ♫
-
2:30 - 2:34♫ for all we could and should be being ♫
-
2:34 - 2:37♫ in the one life that we've got ♫
-
2:41 - 2:45♫ Everybody says ♫
-
2:48 - 2:51♫ time heals everything ♫
-
2:54 - 2:58♫ And what of the wretched hollow? ♫
-
3:00 - 3:03♫ The endless in between? ♫
-
3:03 - 3:06♫ Are we just going to wait it out? ♫
-
3:10 - 3:13♫ Just going to sweat it out? ♫
-
3:16 - 3:19♫ Just going to sweat it out? ♫
-
3:24 - 3:32♫ Wait it out ♫
-
3:33 - 3:37(Applause)
