Dracula Bells

And in a darkened room, where I always spoke too soon
I burn an endless stare at nothing's that just aren't there
If I can convince myself that any of this helps
I can sink deeper in but call it something else
And, in that darkened room, where I trusted my own eyes
Despite all evidence, life’s provided otherwise

You're going to wait a long time
You're going to wait a long time
You’re going to wait a long

And in that darkened room, there is evidence for God
But he's not like I thought, and I'm always on my guard
You know I could never wait, so just tell it to me straight

We're going to wait a long time
We're going to wait a long time
We're going to wait a long time

You're gonna wait a long time
But there's power in prayer
There’s smoke in the rafters
Lord and lover, saint and swain
There’s ash in the air
We're going to wait a long time
But I'm willing to wait
Oh, let me find the right one!
Someone to love, someone to hate
We're going to wait a long time
So, find love while you're young

That way, when it's over?
That way, when it’s over?
That way, when it's over?
You've barely begun
Oh, my God is a God of ironies (we're going to wait a long time)
Microaggressions and very long lines
Slight tilts, and unrealities (long time)
And everything bad takes a very, very long time
Long time
Very long time
And everything bad takes a very long time
