The Waiting Hour

When your bag of secrets opened up and spilled

That radiant glow just disappeared

You rained down from the clouds you were in

Sometimes we can be so blind

But how does pain so bad not bleed?

You push, you push

Sometimes you don't expect to fall

But it's the violent turning of the golden rule

A lifetime of hell for every minute of heaven

I know your heart is breaking

Here in the waiting hour

And I know it can never heal

Here in the waiting hour

So cross your fingers or your heart

Your idle wish commands no more

The mirror you hate reveals

All in this world you control

Just empty out that bag of tricks

'Cause in this limbo they don't exist

Just like your vanity, your hopes

Your prayers, your dreams

Now did you feel the thunder when you realized

Your very own hands reached in

And tore your heart out?

I know your heart is breaking

Here in the waiting hour

And I know it can never heal

Here in the waiting hour

I know your heart is breaking

I know your heart is breaking

And I know how it feels the first time

In the waiting hour

I know your heart is breaking

I know your heart is breaking

I know your heart is breaking

I know your heart is breaking

Just like mine did

I know your heart is breaking

Here in the waiting hour

And I know it can never heal

Here in the waiting hour

I know your heart is breaking

I know your heart is breaking

And I know how it feels the first time

In the waiting hour
