Waiting - Joey Cape

The outside world’s incontinent

The wall’s no longer our fence

Your skin crawls with it, what’s eating you?

Flawless for our little one

Do-overs and re-runs

As you sacrifice the air you breathe

All those things life put you through

Lame excuses shouldn’t do

It hasn’t been enough for you, I’m waiting

Panic is our passing flu

A holiday without a view

It’s not good enough for you, I’m waiting

Find ourself inside again

The outside world seems most distant

Tomorrow the sun will rise again and you will smile

And you will find yourself

And you will find yourself

And you will find yourself again

All those things life put you through

Virtue nearly buried you

Two years without a mirror, she’s fading

Forgetting her mental health

Losing pieces of herself

Lost in a nursery, he’s waiting on the shelf

For her to find herself

For her to find herself

For her to find herself again

(The outside world is closing in

The outside world is closing in

The outside world is, is closing in)
