Tune-Yards - Wait For A Minute lyrics

Wait for a minute

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 until I see the joints

Today I'm feeling like I live on the ledge
Any moment I just know I'm
Gonna fall off the edge they say, "hang on"
I promised them I will but I
Don't know for how long wait for a minute
(How, how how how?) wait for a minute
(How, how how how?) wait for a minute
(How, how how how?) wait for a minute
(How, how how how?) wait

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 rise

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 they are hurting me

Wait for a minute (How, how how how?)
Wait for a minute (How, how how how?)
Wait for a minute (How, how how how?)
Wait for a minute (How, how how how?)
Oh, I'll still try to leave
The high of violence behind
I'll 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 day
I guess I'll drown my fear and seal my fate
A haze of cravings
Easier to do it then it is
To try sit here and wait
Easier to do it then it is
To try sit here and wait

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

Easier to do it then it is
To just sit here and wait!
