[00:02.97]The Narrative - Waiting Room
[00:09.76]
[00:14.63]Waiting in line,
[00:16.73]passing the time reading four month old magazines.
[00:26.22]The pale walls given life by the florescent lights,
[00:31.83]exposing stains in the carpeting.
[00:36.74]
[00:39.40]And sitting at my side this mockery of life:
[00:44.88]a plastic plant strictly for tasteless decor.
[00:52.02]No one makes a sound
[00:54.05]but the sirens seeping through the space between the door and the floor.
[01:02.05]
[01:02.79]Well there's nothing left to say.
[01:06.58]The word's just collapse into
[01:10.01]colorful waves in the spectrum of sound
[01:15.22]and it's easy on the ears
[01:19.38]and it's nice to hear
[01:22.35]but it doesn't mean a thing.
[01:28.72]No it doesn't mean a thing.
[01:32.41]
[01:45.81]The silence breaks
[01:48.72]like a small earthquake shattering the calm - it's my name.
[01:56.80]The familiar scent of sterile instruments
[02:03.69]filters out from inside the hallway.
[02:08.40]
[02:10.54]Your chin falls towards your lap, you know you can't come back
[02:16.30]Just one more thing to make this a little bit harder.
[02:21.88]You'll wait for the turn out.
[02:26.28]Until then a sense of doubt hangs in the air like grief in a funeral parlor.
[02:35.08]
[02:35.45]Well there's nothing left to say.
[02:38.12]The word's just collapse into
[02:41.23]colorful waves in the spectrum of sound
[02:46.96]and it's easy on the ears
[02:50.93]and it's nice to hear
[02:53.68]but it doesn't mean a thing.
[02:59.33]No it doesn't mean,
[03:03.30]No it doesn't mean,
[03:06.30]No it doesn't mean a thing.
[03:10.60]
[03:24.23]So tell me I'm okay with no areas of gray.
[03:43.48]Tell me I can go, just don't say you don't know,
[03:49.24]because there's nothing I can't take like these areas of gray,
[03:55.87]so tell me I'm okay.
