[Intro — low, distorted] Hold up… Waiting forever… For the waste to clear. [Verse 1] Hold up—waiting forever for the waste to clear Moving with no reason, nowhere left to steer False points carved in stone, dressed up as the truth We made a start on trust—then buried it in proof [Pre-Chorus] Soldiers running through the smoke Boots like thunder, lungs like ghosts Something crawled out of the mess Something hungry, something left [Chorus] Wipe the brush through—scrape the surface raw Follow the enemy, become what you saw Options came, then vanished in the black No map, no clue, no turning back [Verse 2] Every road’s a dead end wearing a disguise Every answer splits apart beneath the lights Trying to walk through choices closing in With a war beneath my skin [Pre-Chorus] Soldiers running through the smoke Boots like thunder, lungs like ghosts Something crawled out of the mess Something hungry, something left [Chorus] Wipe the brush through—scrape the surface raw Follow the enemy, become what you saw Options came, then vanished in the black No map, no clue, no turning back [Breakdown — half-time, crushing] CLEAR THE WASTE! BURN THE LIE! TRUST IS ASH! THE DEAD STILL RISE! No reason! No warning! No way out! Keep moving! [Bridge — rising intensity] I tried to walk where the options led But every path went cold and dead Lost in the mess, lost in the sound Still I drag this weight around [Final Chorus] Wipe the brush through—scrape the surface raw Follow the enemy, become what you saw Options came, then vanished in the black No map, no clue— NO TURNING BACK! [Outro — feedback and bass] Hold up… Waiting forever… For the waste to clear.
