Wait It Out - Allie Moss

Where do we go from here

How do we carry on

I can't get beyond the questions

Clambering for the scraps

In the shatter of us collapsed

Is cuts me with every

"could have been"

Pain on pain on play repeating

With the backup makeshift life

In waiting

Everybody says

That time heals everything

But what of the wretched hallow

The endless in-between

Are we just going to wait it out

There's nothing to see here now

Turning the sign around

We're closed to the Earth

'Til further notice

Stumbling cliché case

Crumpled and puffy faced

Dead in the stare of

A thousand miles

All-in-one

Only one street-level miracle

I'll be an out-in-out born-again

From none more cynical

Everybody says

That time heals everything

All in the end

But what of the wretched hallow

The endless in-between

Are we just going to wait it out

And sit here cold

We'll be long gone by then

And lackluster

In dust we lay around

Old magazines

Fluorescent lighting sets the scene

For all we could

And should be being

In the one life that we've got

Everybody says

That time heals everything

But what of the wretched hallow

The endless in-between

Are we just going to wait it out

Sit here

Just going to sweat it out

Sit here cold

Just going to sweat it out

Sit here

Wait it out
