Waiting for the Fall

[Verse 1] Sunday smiles on a crooked street Porch lights hum but nobody speaks Coffee’s hot, but it tastes like shame Everybody watching, nobody praying [Pre-Chorus] They don’t throw stones, they don’t get loud Just count the days till the man breaks down [Chorus] The table’s set for dinner, but nobody wants to eat They’re just waiting for the man next door to end up on the street They call it justice, call it fate Polish up their smiles while they wait [Verse 2] They don’t need blood on their hands tonight Just crossed fingers and a screen-lit light Clicking hearts on a public fall Calling it truth while they cheer it all [Pre-Chorus] No push, no fire, no sound Just hope he slips when nobody’s around [Chorus] The table’s set for dinner, but nobody wants to eat They’re just waiting for the man next door to end up on the street They call it morals, call it clean While they bet on misery [Bridge] Neighbor love got sold real cheap Traded for rumors we can keep Prayers don’t rise, they crawl and spy Waiting on a reason to justify [Final Chorus] The table’s set for dinner, but nobody wants to eat They don’t want bread, they want a seat To watch a life slide out of reach
