Waiting for the Sun

Waiting for the
Waiting for the
Waiting for the sun
Midnight
In the city of big lights and strong drinks
Weak wills and cheap thrills and long thinks after
Gone to the brink, past the
Point of no return, and yo you’re yearning to recapture
The weightlessness of young confidence
And you hate this mess but you want to dance
So
Two shots more and ya back out on the floor
‘Cause you’re tryna find a way to exact a little more
Vengeance on the semblance of life that kept you pretending
Waiting for the sun but yo the night is neverending
Sorry to get deep, but it’s hard to slip away when the City never sleeps
So you creep to the underground
Surrounded by the unbounded wonder of the younger crowd
How do they do it? Screw it
Can’t beat ‘em join ‘em
What’s the point? Find a Christ and anoint ‘em
But Hedonism’s the religion I chose
The room is spinning like the DJ when my eyes close
And I know that I’m in too deep
Got an image to protect, so I binge to keep it
Let me tell you a secret:
I’ve been chasing a dragon knowing I’m never going to reach it
Like finding out last night was your last chance
Y’all don’t want to hear me y’all just want to dance
Waiting for the
Waiting for the
Waiting for the sun
So I wait to play
This could be our final day
No words to say:
I’m holding back
I’m in my way
No lights but strobe lights
Glow sticks and lowlifes
Bro fights
No night quite like this
Past last call
Glass smash fall
Released to the streets and you dash crash fall into the trash, bash!
Maul the asphalt like an asshole
Nobody to put you in a cab home, the last road
Leads to ruin, nobody sees you doing it
They just leaving you to it, like it suits you, assuming it
Makes you happy
Thinking that’s what you want
Meeting demons every evening at all your favorite haunts
Downtown soul rebound bounce low
Browned out, bound down where the lounge crowd go
Round here steer clear of the regulars
They’re all Molly Floggers and psychedelic predators
Editors and Senators, pulpit bullshit by the shit ton
Tonight you might go home with one
Waiting for the
Waiting for the
Waiting for the sun
So I wait to play
This could be our final day
No words to say:
I’m holding back
I’m in my way
