Jason Vitelli - Vacant Lyrics

I'm waiting for me to live life like an eagle soars
But I'm chained upon a load that threatens to bring us to harm
To harm

Am I too vacant to recognize what I ought to conceal?
As their hateful eyes are glowing in hordes surrounding
Whoa

This moment will pass me by as these drugs will get me high
But down in the doldrums, the devil speaks a vicious tune singing
"Bring Hell to all cause the Lord ain't there for you"
Is that true?

Or am I too vacant to understand what I ought to ignore?
As their merciless havoc breathes its fire toward my door
Whoa

It's been so long, can't see what's in front of me
This holding cell won't release my sanity, no it won't
What is home anymore when I can't breathe
Through the smoke so thick and so wild consuming me?

I'm waiting upon this ledge, just hoping you'll see me score
Take a jump shot into the cloud rim of heaven above
To be kissed by all net, her lips tainted with blood, with my blood

Am I too vacant to reconcile who's attacking me?
While every side is drawing the same lines on concrete
All are aware that he took his final leap, I took my final leap
Drowning down into the gutter but hope to one day float upstream
