They changed the rules

After the game

Signed their names

On all my days

I wear the cut

But not the blame

I feel the fire

I let it fade

I can’t be angry at a distant sky

Clouds don’t listen

They just roll by

So I breathe in

Let the thunder pass through

Waiting isn’t losing

It’s what I can do

Waiting isn’t losing

It’s what I can do

They take their share

Then take some more

Laugh in halls

I can’t afford

My hands stay still

Inside my coat

I save my voice

Save my throat

I can’t be angry at a distant sky

Clouds don’t listen

They just roll by

So I breathe in

Let the thunder pass through

Waiting isn’t losing

It’s what I can do

Waiting isn’t losing

It’s what I can do

I count my scars

Like quiet votes

In every bruise

A secret oath

To live

To last

To see this through

If power’s gone

I still choose my view

I can’t be angry at a distant sky

Clouds don’t listen

They just roll by

So I breathe in

Let the thunder pass through

Waiting isn’t losing

It’s what I can do

Waiting isn’t losing

(it’s what I can do)
