The Devil Is Waiting

The devil is waiting

He's waiting on you

There's no hesitating

He knows you'll come through

He's got big money bet on what you will do

The devil is waiting

He's waiting on you

The devil is waiting

He's waiting on you

And his trap's got the bait in

While you sit in that pew

And his patience is long

As the line that you drew

The devil is waiting

He's waiting on you

Well, it's time worth spent

When your time's spent repenting

But you can't live a life without shame

So you'll scrub 'til the outside

Meets all expectations

But he knows and he sits and he waits

Well the devil is waiting

He's waiting on you

He's calm but he's hungry

For something to chew

And you're fat with those facts

That you swear to be true

The devil is waiting

He's waiting on you

Well it's time worth spent

When your time's spent repenting

But you can't live a life without shame

So you'll scrub til the outside

Meets all expectations

But he knows and he sits and he waits

The devil is waiting

But not like you thought he was

Carefully recalculating the plot

Because buried way deep underground

In a place no one thought could be found

Are the lies and the secrets and

The blatant hypocrisies

Mixed with corruption

And left there to rot

And we've only grown darker with time

All the pain that was caused

Never mind

Or the lives that were lost

Or the cost

He just waits

And he waits

And he waits

The devil is waiting

He's waiting on you

And he's laughing his ass off

'Cause he already knew

That behind all your goodness

You'd rotted straight through

The devil is waiting

He's waiting on you

It's time worth spent

When your time's spent repenting

But you can't live a life without shame

So you'll scrub til the outside

Meets all expectations

But he knows

And he sits

And he waits
