Proverbs 6:27[1][2]
Lyrics
Try to hide down in the darkness
Get accustomed to our shapes[3]
Rained in 'til next week at the earliest
Go through an old box full of Betamax tapes[4]
Pull the blankets up to my neck
And the screen began to glow
I cried real tears when they beat Chuck Norris down[5]
Wait here in the shadows 'til the shadows let me go
And treat each crushing moment like a gift
And wait for the fog to lift
Pretend I'm waiting for a notice
From someone somewhere far away
Sit here and break things while I'm waiting
As day gives way to day gives way to day gives way to day
But while I try to let the shadows mask my movements
They're never gonna hide me like they used to
I watched the Delta Force save everybody from that plane on fire[5]
I was watching wishing I had not lost track of you
I treat each crushing moment like a gift
And wait for the fog to lift
