Lyrics

[Verse 1] Lost my shape Trying to act casual Can't stop I might end up in the hospital! Changing my shape I feel like an accident They're back To explain their experience [Chorus 1] Isn't it weird? Looks too obscure to me Wasting away That was their policy [Verse 2] I'm ready to leave! I push the facts in front of me Facts lost Fa-Facts are never what they seem to be No-no-thing there No information left of any kind Li-lifting my head Lo-lo-looking for the danger signs [Chorus 2] There was a line There was a formula Sharp as a knife Facts cut a hole in us There was a line There was a formula Sharp as a knife Facts cut a hole in us [Guitar Solo] [Refrain] I'm still waiting I-I-I'm still waiting I'm still waiting I-I-I'm still waiting I'm still waiting I-I-I'm still waiting I'm still waiting I-I-I'm still waiting [Chorus 3] The feeling returns Whenever we close our eyes Lifting my head Looking around inside [Verse 3] The island of doubt It's like the taste of medicine Working by hindsight Got the message from the oxygen M-m-making a list Find the cost of opportunity Doing it right Facts are useful in emergencies [Chorus 3] The feeling returns Whenever we close our eyes Lifting my head Looking around inside [Bridge] Facts are simple and facts are straight Facts are lazy and facts are late Facts all come with points of view Facts don't do what I want them to Facts just twist the truth around Facts are living turned inside out Facts are getting the best of them Facts are nothing on the face of things [Refrain] I'm still waiting I-I-I'm still waiting I'm still waiting I-I-I'm still waiting I'm still waiting I-I-I'm still waiting I'm still waiting I-I-I'm still waiting
