Wait and See

I set my heart on fire, then I watched it blaze
I saw it turn to ash, wind carry it away
It was just another day in the life of a drunkard, retired
But still not acting very polite
Well, we all have our vices, some are here to stay
Some will hide in your closet, crawling back one day
I may be looking for pity, just a little remorse
I need to catch a break, stop kicking this dead horse

Wait and see just what we’ll be
Wait and see just what we’ll be

It’s starting to get scary, how time flies so fast
Why can’t we make it last?
When all the moments I’d love to remember end up out of site, and I just can’t seem to get any back
I still remember my mother, my father
But damn, you know that shit never lasts
Ended up snorting shit up my nose just for fun
Smokey lungs. It’s time I take my life back

Wait and see. What will remain in the end?
It’s time to make for the great escape
I’m sorry I feel this way and I won’t ever look back
Now I’m free. I’m finally where I belong
As we’re looking through the shattered glass, we know that we won’t last, and it's time that we let go

Love, you’re looking lost
No sparkle in your eye, I know you’re ending up like me
Son, I think you’re lost
And when I scream to God I just hope He forgives me

Wait and see. What will remain in the end?
It’s time to make for the great escape
I’m sorry I feel this way and I won’t ever look back
Now I’m free. I’m finally where I belong
As we’re looking through the shattered glass, we know that we won’t last, and it's time that we let go
