Wait For A Minute Lyrics & Chords By Tune-yards

Monday
I wake up with disgust in my head
Could not forgive myself another moment spent in the bed
Monday
The mirror always disappoints
I pinch my skin back til I see the joints
Today
I'm feeling like I live on a ledge
At any moment I just know I'm gonna fall off the edge
They say, "Hang on."
I promise them I will but I don't know for how long.

Wait, for a minute
(How, how how how?)

Why do I spend the soul of my day looking for any way to waste away?
The pain is in the empty time
Just twiddling my thumbs and hoping for the words to rhyme
Today
I couldn't stand to be all alone
And sick of hearing my voice on the telephone
A thousand roads to injury
Most of them so smooth it doesn't feel like they're hurting me

Wait, for a minute...

Oh I'll still try to leave the high of violence behind
I wait for relief but the illness is my mind

(Why should I wait? I'm already too late. Why should I wait?)

Not knowing what the future will bring is always wrecking my days.
I guess I'll drown my fear and seal my fate.
A haze of craving
Easier to do it than it is to just sit here and wait
