Ashes, Ashes - Sheer Terror

Waiting for the fall

Hours slip on by, and the curtain has it’s call

The audience never came, but the fat woman went home

The box-office has tallied up all the receipts and we’re a hundred years in the

red

I’ve heard their aspirations in the eyes

I’ve felt the lust, I’ve seen them rise

I’ve seen them fall, I’ve seen them turn to dust

But I’ve been waiting for so long for a shining star to fall

But I’m just waiting… patiently

I’m just waiting patiently for a friend and for the end

I’d like to get out of here before the dawn, before the sun

Can’t I hop a bus.

Or catch a train or hitch a ride with someone?

Let me go, please let me go, I’ve seen enough

And I just wanna… wait for the fall

Waiting for those ashes to fall into their own collective places

Waiting for those ashes to fall, and to form their own collective faces
