Waiting to Believe Lyrics

Hiding in the dying ember buried in your head

Echo of the specter's whisper swept under the bed

Something slightly off about the words she said

"I'm an eager vessel waiting to believe"

"I am the antenna ready to receive"

She's a simple sponge, and easy to deceive

Small, unspoiled child waiting by the stair

Staring up to heaven, who will lead her there?

Slowly she's discovering no one's there

Some subversive seed, a cynic's notion - death's aperitif

Set this child to reason, accidentally paved the path to grief

Now her notion's skipped the boundary into mass belief

Diving in, unguided, in relentless search for "real"

Not equipped to handle all the logic she'd reveal

Science found her answer, now no one feels

Wholeness skips horizons beyond where we can see

we put our faith in her, but she is us - and who are we

But a skeptic's generation waiting to believe

Man overboard!

Man overboard

Overboard

Over
