Waiting for the End

Are you sitting alone tonight?
Did you make it back home alright?
If I knock on your door at one
Will you forget the things I done?
Slowly back my fingers bend
I’m just waiting for the end
Can’t you see that I’m hurtin' bad?
Don’t my tears make you awful sad?
Oh, I promise to treat you nice
Let me touch you just once or twice
Slowly back my fingers bend
I’m just waiting for the end
The road has turned red
The stars have all fled
So long, so long, so long
See the scars on my mangled fist
On every knuckle your judas kiss
Something’s wrong, I don’t feel too good
Do you think that I ever could?
Slowly back my fingers bend
I’m just waiting for the end
Once we met by the garden wall
You were happy and stood so calm
I was coughin' up poison words
I was stranglin' pretty birds
Slowly back my fingers bend
I’m just waiting for the end
The road has turned red
The stars have all fled
So long, so long, so long
Now I’m choppin' the roots from trees
When they scream, it don’t bother me
And your venom, it chills me so
There’s so much you must never know
Slowly back my fingers bend
I’m just waiting for the end
The road has turned red
The stars have all fled
So long, so long, so long
