Waiting in a Bank

[Verse] Empty chairs dust covers clinging Red tape lines floor metal buzzing Waiting not moving clock hands crawling Eyes blank screens keep on blinking [Verse 2] Numbers pasted voices mumbled Lines of faces crowd disheveled Silent cries from within struggle Stories buried never settled [Chorus] Waited long lost in this dead space Silver hopes gone like out of place Hungry hearts stale air to taste Life a joke but not a trace [Verse 3] Paper trails your soul in pieces Guard's cold stare through distant speeches Dream deferred box of keysless Time's deceit it never ceases [Verse 4] Echoes bounce old marble quarried Future's dice ritual queried Trapped in moments hollow tarried Rhythms strained but never varied [Bridge] Rage contained within all pages Caged ambitions in locked cages Unheard thoughts silent sages Life reduced to passing stages
