Tuesday wakes up silent
And there aren't enough pills to sleep
And then it cuts out like mis-wired shortwave radio
It's over
But nothing can change to ever make it right
When you live in a nightmare
It's written all over your face.

And in a short time
You're never the same again
The distance is streamlined
Between decision and defense

Disorient the senses
Loss of identity
No one to trust

Life runs through this trade
I am no killer
But I still hide my face
In the coming days

I wake up every morning
From the same dream
And then I kill it
But you can't change the letters when the ink dries

I woke up on the sidewalk and everything just changed
Now the lights are blinking but I can't see anything

Everything is falling apart
Crumpled paper
Crushed tin cans
Broken bottles
Paper scraps
We all look the same
We all look the same
But I am the killer

    ok here is what i heard: right around the time waiting was being released geof was mugged in New Burnswick (the town in jersey the band if from) and geof defended himself and killed the guy who was trying to mug him. thats why he says that this song is about responsibility. he is dealing with being responsible for taking another persons life
