Waiting to die
Just...
waiting for the clock to say the shift is over
to get the hell out of here
to move to the city
waiting in traffic
waiting in line behind the old lady who still uses checks at the grocery store
waiting for love
for it to be over
sitting paranoid in the car out front
of the drug dealers house
waiting for your buddy to come out
waiting to get high
waiting to die
waiting until your get older
having a kid
waiting for your kid to get older
waiting for the phone call
that says your Gram has died
your dad has died
your wife has died
your dog has died
that your best friend has died
waiting to hear they found your brothers body
finding out he couldn't wait
waiting for the goddamned timer on the oven
to ding telling you that the crappy
frozen pizza you bought to eat while you wait to die
is done
waiting to die
waiting for the promotion
waiting for the boyfriend of that girl you like to fuck up so badly that you might have a chance
for plans to come to fruition
for crops to grow
for the revolution
for some good news for a change
paint to dry
paint to peel
the washer to finish
the dryer to ding
the Amazon order to come
waiting around for the FedEx guy to deliver it
for the plumber to unclog your toilet
waiting for your favorite band to drop their next album
the new premier
the new thing
the new place to dump your cash
your birthday right around the corner
waiting for the new year to start your diet
to quit smoking
for the other shoe
the axe to fall
the jury to render a verdict
Waiting to be happy
waiting for that asshole to get out of the bathroom
for your roommate to do the dishes
waiting to die
waiting for your vacation
coming home just in time to wait for the next one
waiting for retirement
waiting for your tax return to get the brakes fixed
waiting for the brakes to fail
the planes to fall out of the sky
the second coming
the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs
the rapture
for Jesus or Jim Jones to take you up to heaven
the end of the world
world war three
the Commies to invade
the shift to end
waiting to die
Just...
