Waiting For The Day
(Words and music by Allan Dawson)

I woke up screaming with blood on my feet,
The whole thing felt so real.
I had the world out to get me in a twisted dream,
A real go nowhere ordeal.
Your blue strings caressed me as I made my last stand,
While your lights picked me out of the night.
And everyone forgot me as I flocked the land,
You said you’d always make sure I’m alright.

I think its all illusions baby!
I think its all illusions baby!
I think its all illusions baby!
I think its all illusions!

I’m waiting for the day when I can choose my desires,
I’m waiting for the day when I’m whole again.
I’m waiting for the day where we can stand up defiant,
I’m waiting for the day.

I woke up steaming with hot regrets,
I’ve been sleeping with the enemy.
A corporate monster with flash epaulettes,
Sapping all my energy.
I spend all day working for enough to live,
Wasting all my time away.
But now I got no reason to forget or forgive,
I’m getting out to make my future today.

I don’t need illusions baby!
I don’t need illusions baby!
I don’t need illusions baby!
I don’t need illusions!

I’m waiting for the day when I can choose my desires,
I’m waiting for the day when I’m whole again.
I’m waiting for the day where we can stand up defiant,
I’m waiting for the day.

I’m waiting for the day when I can choose my desires,
I’m waiting for the day when I’m whole again.
I’m waiting for the day where we can stand up defiant,
I’m waiting for the day.

I’m waiting for the day when I can choose my desires,
I’m waiting for the day when I’m whole again.
I’m waiting for the day where we can stand up defiant,
I’m waiting for the day.
