still waiting

buried in the rubble, there's a boy in trouble, reaching for a piece of the sky, clawing at the wreckage, sending out a message, dying to get back to the light, lost in time, long forgotten, hung forever, on the line, still waiting behind, still waiting, forever left to wonder why, still waiting, in truth i know that really i'm, still out there, still waiting, a wandering ghost for evermore, still out there, still waiting, i feel like i've been here before, i had never reckoned, ever coming second, stretching to get over the line, but i'm all in pieces, sick as all my secrets, still now how they weigh on my mind, lost in time, long forgotten, hung forever, on the line, still waiting behind, phantoms in the shadows howl, to devils on the edge of town, passing through the city walls, dancing down the hollow halls, vultures in the inky haze, circle where my body lays, i've got to get a message out, pull me from the wreckage now
