Waiting is Dangerous

Music: Metaphorically about your relationship with time, relatable in your own way

Lyrics:
The stars are frozen, locked in place
They won't align to show the way.
You’re staring at the signal lights
Waiting for a sea of green to hit the night.
But the universe is indifferent, it’s cold and wide
It isn’t pushing back, but it isn’t on your side.
The pins are scattered on the floor
And you’re still standing at the door.

Someday is a disease, a quiet, slow decay
Taking every dream and locking it away
It’ll follow you down, it’ll go to the grave
To the ghost of the life that you didn't quite brave
Don’t wait for the calm, don’t wait for the sign
The perfect conditions are a fault in your design.

So quit the still or start the fire
Before the pulse begins to tire.
The timing sucks, it always will
The world is moving while you’re standing still.
There’s no such thing as a ready heart
There’s only the grit of a jagged start.
Correct the course while you’re in the slipstream
Stop mourning the shadow of a half-lived dream.

Someday is a disease, a quiet, slow decay
Taking every dream and locking it away
It’ll follow you down, it’ll go to the grave
To the ghost of the life that you didn't quite brave
Don’t wait for the calm, don’t wait for the sign
The perfect conditions are a fault in your design.

A pro and con list is a paper cage
A way to keep from turning the page.
The traffic’s heavy and the sky is grey
But later is a debt you can never pay.

Someday is a disease, a quiet, slow decay
Taking every dream and locking it away
It’ll follow you down, it’ll go to the grave
To the ghost of the life that you didn't quite brave
Don’t wait for the calm, don’t wait for the sign
The perfect conditions are a fault in your design.

Jump.
Adjust the weight
Jump.
It’s never too late
Jump.
The runway is broken, the wind is high
Jump.
But you were never meant to wait for a cloudless sky.
Just do it.
Correct the course.
Before the silence takes its toll.
Don’t let eventually swallow your soul.
