Wait a minute longer

Wait a minute longer
let the silence linger on   and
let the symphonies roll off your tongue and burn my skin and burn my    skin

Wait a minute longer
leave this moment thick and strong   and
leave your song forever shaking always screaming in my   ears

Wait a minute longer
spin your fire into my brain   and
let it rain and stain my words and crack my splintered soul my splintered   soul

Wait a minute longer
speak your skin into my bone   and
teach the story of alone and turn my heart to stone my heart to   stone
