The Waiting (Radio Edit)

I'll be patiently waiting
I'll be patiently waiting
I'll be patiently waiting
I've been waiting for something to happen
They tell me don't give up
It's only a work of art if you engage with it
So to you I don't exist
I never felt real bliss
Just a mist
Marks of the hands is all I have left
I've been staying up all night tryna catch my breath
Feelings God's breath beside me on my left

Guess I got more character this way
Building out of sight
Built to echo a renaissance of street talent
There was nothing here before
It was a swamp
Now it where i sing my ballads
Being eccentric gave me the chance to get out of the house
I am just a woman
But I carry the weight of five
How am I supposed to want to stay alive
With all this on my shoulders
Jesus can you move this boulder
How am I supposed to want to stay alive
With all this on my shoulders
Jesus can you move this boulder

I'll be patiently waiting
I'll be patiently waiting

I've been waiting for something to happen
They tell me don't give up

Welcome my love
Welcome to the machine
They already know where you've been
They see you when you feel unseen
So welcome my love
Welcome to the machine

What makes me valid
I need bodies to test the acoustics
This is my work of art
I am a work of art
I am a nuisance
I came in with this vision
And planned mission made my decision but it's useless
I can't be confined
I wanna see hundreds and thousands
I wanna just be
Dead men tell no tales
That's why I'm constantly
Searching for balance
Someone to lift my veil
Keep the stories told
So the truth can be revealed
When you enter the room all you see
Gold teeth
Gold rings
Gold Frames
Take what you will

With all this on my shoulders
Jesus can you move this boulder
How am I supposed to want to stay alive
With all that's on my shoulders
Jesus can you move this boulder

I've been waiting for something to happen
They tell me don't give up
