Waiting Game

I've been fishing and can't catch a bite
I've been praying, ain't seen that light
I've been searching, high to the low
I've been working, working, working myself to the bone

Now my skin starts to crawl
I'm gon' tear down these walls if I don't get out
I've lost heaven to hell
And I know very well I'm gon' get it back

There's just this waiting game
And I don't know how to play
It's enough of a fight staying alive anyway
Yes, there's this waiting game
And I don't know how to play
It's enough of a fight staying alive anyway

There's a voice in my pillow, it's got it out for me
Umm, umm, 'cause it' keeps mumbling, mumbling
All through the night, I can't sleep
I've been patient, oh, a change gon' come
But that damn clock just don't stop ticking, ticking, ticking away
That's the storm

Now my skin starts to crawl
I'm gon' tear down these walls if I don't get out
I've lost heaven to hell
And I know very well I'm gon' get it back

There's just this waiting game
And I don't know how to play
It's enough of a fight staying alive anyway
Yes, there's this waiting game
Oh, I don't know how to play
It's enough of a fight staying alive anyway

Umm, umm, umm
Umm, umm, umm
