I Am Not Waiting Anymore Songtext

von Field Report

I am red in tooth and claw
God's favorite child's been bloodied from the brawl
And this bitterness was killing me all day long
I am not waiting anymore,
I am not waiting anymore

Now I've been blowing through time like nickel slots
In a windowless room on a credit card
Flash it like a semaphore, a vague drafty metaphor
I am not waiting anymore

I've been a keen eyed observer
Of movements of concentric parts
The bodies of bones and breasts,
And unmapped chambers of hearts
And the sand in hand's been turned to glass
Like a turbo filled with life that's passed
You can toss it off the balcony and listen for the crash
I am not waiting anymore,

I spent 8 long years, working on my screenplay
It's a teen movie with young actresses that plays to the middle aged
I've read between the lines,
I have been wrong every time
Burn up on the altar, but I am fine
I am not waiting anymore, I am not waiting anymore
I am not waiting anymore.
