While You Wait for the Others

While you wait for the others
To make it all worthwhile
All your useless pretentions
Are weighing on my time
You could beg for forgiveness
As long as you like
Or just wait out the evening
You'll always ask me why
Yes you'll only bleed me dry
So I'll ask you kindly to make your way
And what was there
The perfect cleft
We all fall through
While you wait on the answers
That I'll pretend to find
Keeping up with emotions
Still occupies our time
You could hope for substance
As long as you like
Or just wait out the evening
You'll always ask me why
Yes you'll only bleed me dry
I'll ask you kindly to make your way
And what was left
The perfect cleft
We all fall through
And all we want
And what was there
And what was there
And what was there
