Lyrics

Buried in the rubble
There's a boy in trouble
Reaching for a piece of the sky
Clawing at the wreckage
Sending out a message
Dying to get back to the light
Lost in time
Long forgotten, hung forever
On the line
Still waiting behind
Still waiting
Forever left to wonder why
Still waiting
In truth, I know that really I'm
Still out there
Still waiting
A wandering ghost for evermore
Still out there
Still waiting
I feel like I've been here before
I had never reckoned
Never coming second
Stretching to get over the line
But I'm all in pieces
Sick as all my secrets
Still now how they weigh on my mind
Lost in time
Long forgotten, hung forever
On the line
Still waiting behind
Still waiting
Forever left to wonder why
Still waiting
In truth, I know that really I'm
Still out there
Still waiting
A wandering ghost for evermore
Still out there
Still waiting
I feel like I've been here before
Phantoms in the shadows howl
To devils on the edge of town
Passing through the city walls
Dancing down the hollow halls
Vultures in the inky haze
Circle where my body lays
I've got to get a message out
Pull me from the wreckage now
Still waiting
Forever left to wonder why
Still waiting
In truth, I know that really I'm
Still out there
Still waiting
A wandering ghost for evermore
Still out there
Still waiting
I feel like I've been here before
Phantoms in the shadows howl
To devils on the edge of town
Passing through the city walls
Dancing down the hollow halls
