Did you do me right? Did I do right by you?
When I bared my soul it seems you did not hear
Can this be true? Am I fool to fight?
I could do just what you say
But I'm following my heart
And that takes me another way
It's not easy when there's no one
One giving prizes at the end
Waiting in the wings
Wishing that the band would start to play
As the show begins
Wonder what the critics have to say
Waiting
Waiting
For the verdict
Some people live so fast, they're so scared of getting old
Some people keep on working
All they do is line their graves with gold
We don't know what happens when we die
We only know we die too soon
But we have to try or else our world becomes a waiting room
Would you testify for me?
I think I'd do the same for you
Waiting in the dark
Waiting for the phone to ring all day
My witness disappears
Wonder what the jury has to say
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting

Order, order, has the jury reached a verdict?
Yes, we have Your Honor
In the case of the people of the state of New York

Let me take you to a prison
Where a man is dying behind bars
His death is right before him
But it's not his choice and it's not his fault
They served him wrong and placed him
Here to die upon death row
And there's little now to help this man
For their justice ha been done
A jury turned a blinding eye
Now death is all he sees
And now he has no choice at all
But to die in misery
Oh God above why don't you lend a hand?
To this scarred and helpless soul
Of an innocent man
For if you're up there in the sky
Why don't you make it right?
Just turn him loose and end his fight
Turn him loose and make this right
He's reached the final hour
As the minutes have ticked his life away
But mercy hasn't come for him
So he looks for faith
And he starts to pray
As the seconds fall he's taken
To the place he'll die tonight
While the preacher comes to read
To him his final dying rites
As they walk to death
The man is screaming
An innocence from the crime
And the priest believes the words he hears
From the sadness in his eyes
He tells the priest he once believed
In God above and serving thee for life
But God has chosen him to die
To make him pay for another's crime
A lie, it's just a lie
But faith is dead and now it's time
To end the pain and say goodbye...
As the man died before them
The electric chair was charged to kill
While the priest was staring at the sky
The smell of death just filled the air
Yes, the verdict death was carried out
On the man who did no wrong
The end for him had finally come
And his soul it now was gone
When the call did come after his death
Claiming that the man was free
All were shocked except the priest
Who knew the travesty
Oh God above why did you take his life?
Is he at peace there standing by your side?
Has his non-belief been born again,
For will we ever know?
The many reasons for the way things go
The many reasons for the way things go
Your many reasons for the way things go

You enter this space without a noise
air is shallow not that I'd know
in the wait until we both settle in
how can I resist when I don't know
you gave me no choice
so silent just like you needed
spare me a lot of noise
I'm not the only one
to throw an awkward silence
in the wait until the drug settle in
your real intent begins when I don't know
you gave me no choice
so silent just like you
Oh let ruphenol be your guide
I'll only be out for a little while
Oh and if I should never come around
Tell my mother it was out of her hands
Your aether fills space when I'm a void
I'm not the only one left to dissolve this silence
in the wait no coercion getting in
pathetically admit I'd rather not know
you gave me no choice
so silent just like you
Oh let ruphenol be your guide
I'll only be out for a little while
Oh and if I should never come around
Tell my mother it was out of her hands
No more silence
No lucid dreaming
No recollection
No singing me to sleep
Oh let ruphenol be your guide
I'll only be out for a little while
Oh and if I should never come around
