[Lyric] As It Waits (Grant Swift)

[Verse 1]
I drove out in the morning
A fear of what I left behind
A river runs through my way to the other side

I fell in
The frigid air and shallow breath
My central nervous system keeping me from death

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, is there nothing more to find within?
Why did I leave the outside of your skin?
The outside of your skin

[Chorus]
As it waits
I lie awake
Shivering and praying in the dark

What does it take
Until I break?
I hope I never live to find it out
[Verse 2]
I see
The signs beginning right now
And then ending right about now

We swear we didn't always
We didn't always feel this way
But some invisible thing has filled this changing space

[Pre-Chorus]
How can we gain reprieve from broken minds
When cures create pathology's design?
Pathology's design

[Chorus]
What does it take
Until we break?
Shivering and praying in the dark

I can't wait
For what it takes
Wanna lay myself before it all

[Bridge]
If you see it come your way
Let your mind subside
'Cause if you try to fight
It never goes away
Left with nothing else
I nearly killed myself

[Verse 3]
I drove out in the evening
Two crossing paths where he resides
A man of lies to buy this failing enterprise

I felt the burden of divergence
And he appeared right by my side
He gave me something, and I gave him what was mine

[Pre-Chorus]
But as I turned I saw him ride away
There was no vanishing, he didn't leave this earthly plane
And I wondered

Does shame require us to feel resigned
To deals we made at crossroads in our minds?
Well why not cross the line, and shift the tide?
Cross the line, and shift the tide

[Chorus]
As we wait
We'll lie awake
Pretending nothing's waiting in the dark
It's not too late
For us to break
Away from where intelligence resigned

As it waits
We lie awake
Shivering and praying in the dark

It's not too late
For us to break
Away from where intelligence resigned
