Deca - Waiting lyrics

[Vocal Sample] I'm just drifting (uh huh) (yeah) Waiting for things [Verse 1] Through the forest toward the source waiting to attain grace Our paths diverge, but take us to the same place Cast skyward, weightless when the chains break Archetypal figures that shape-shift, that change face Storm the gates, hit the safe, get the cake While dog eats dog off a Donner family dinner plate I'm in the clouds, in the crowd, in the visionscape In effect, any minute now Imma get it straight I've seen her face in my dreams since I was young A Beatrice, a queen, a mother that chides her son Then stumbled through his life when he couldn't find a hobby And lived on a cliffs edge like the Anasazi Saw my love walking down the street like a vision A symbol of a hidden world, show me what I'm missing (She smiled at him, but said nothing) Then disappeared around the corner while I put the poison in my bloodstream A child born in the briars and thorns That tried to silence sirens and horns in the eye of the storm The fire rages, the state calls her young to war Some will turn their hatred into something more And place guns on the floor Breathe deep, darkness retreats See my heart periodically, it's part of her mystique Hold the keys to the city where the shepherds lead the sheep And never ever ever get the mark of the beast [Chorus] I climbed the ladder then I fell again I had a whole wardrobe full of skeletons And old habits that arrested my development In the woods at the mercy of the elements Waiting for my love You seen her? I'm waiting for my love They tell me I'm a dreamer (Waiting for things) [Verse 2] Run and warn a village not to place trust In machines built to subjugate the universe in us The jungle's not safe after dusk I saw hyenas tear a man to pieces and turned away in disgust But some nights mother made me k** for my next meal My dreams seemed more alive, the world felt less real And in the full moon light, she looked beautiful A fresh blanket of snow, a garland of human skulls Her valleys and streams are my flesh, my veins Like birds in flight, a neuron's firin' in my right brain And words are weapons to sharp-shoot shots off In the dark of night and hit the mark with precise aim Lone pistolero too legit to cease Gain the kingdoms of the world, lose your inner peace Got no social sk** but I can do this in my sleep Jacques Cousteau the ocean to reveal the universe beneath [Chorus] I climbed the ladder then I fell again I had a whole wardrobe full of skeletons And old habits that arrested my development In the woods at the mercy of the elements Waiting for my love You seen her? I'm waiting for my love They tell me I'm a dreamer (Waiting for things)
