Marigolds Lyrics

Whisper your shame in the cracks of the pavement

And water the spot where the seed of your pain went

A decade will pass before marigolds grow

And the roots, since forgotten, will drag you below

A window display of some antique TVs

Where each screen holds a piece of a face you'd once seen

But the order's all wrong, and the LED glare

Leaves a shattered cadaver you'd sworn wasn't there

Don't wait

Don't wait for nothing

Don't wait

Don't wait for nothing

Swallowing stones that won't sit in your stomach

But go to your head so you float and then plummet

Setting the clock to what feels like the time

Only to find you're twelve hours behind

Sometimes I dream that I live by the shore

In a town where a frown is as rare as a storm

But then I awake, and I grieve, for I know

This shadow will follow wherever I go

Don't wait

Don't wait for nothing

Don't wait

Don't wait for nothing

Don't wait

Don't wait for nothing

Don't wait

Don't wait for nothing
