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 the policy [Verse 2] I'm ready to leave, I push the facts in front of me Facts lost, facts are never what they seem to be Nothing there, no information left of any kind Lifting my head, lo-lo-looking for 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 [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] 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 a 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 [Verse 4] Facts are simple and facts are straight Facts are lazy and facts are lame Facts don't 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 [?] [Outro] 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 I'm still waiting I-I-I'm still waiting (Still? Still!) I'm still waiting I-I-I'm still waiting I'm still waiting A-ha-ha, I-I-I'm still waiting (Still, still, still) I'm still waiting I-I-I'm still waiting
