lyrics

I am red in tooth and claw
God's favorite child's been bloodied from the brawl
and this bitterness was killing me all along
I am not waiting anymore

I've been blowing through time like nickel slots
in a windowless room on a credit card
Flash it like a semaphore - a vague drafty metaphor -
I am not waiting anymore

I've been a doe-eyed observer
of movements of concentric parts
of bodies of bones and breasts,
and unmapped chambers of hearts

Sand in hand has been turned to glass
like a Jeroboam filled with a life that's passed
Toss it off the balcony and listen for the crash
I am not waiting anymore

I spent eight long years, mucking up my screenplay
it's a teen movie with young actresses
that plays to the middle-aged

I have read between the lines,
I have been wrong every time
I'm burning on the altar, and I feel fine
I am not waiting anymore
