Here's a song about waiting, isolation, and the odd glimpse of hope we hang onto. To me it feels a little like screaming out into a void. I'm not expecting anything to come back or change; not even anyone to hear me or help me. It just serves the need for an outlet for all the emotions that rack up year after year of trials and failures. If you're in need of some hope too, this song's for you.

lyrics:

I've been waiting so long
I'm starting to forget what I want
I've been waiting so long
Most days the spark is gone

I’ve been waiting so long
I’ve been waiting

Lost in this battle
Lost in the rain
Lost in this battle
Where my hope, it comes and it goes
Yes my hope, it blankets my pain

I’ve been waiting so long
Like a dusty paper doll in the attic of my soul
I’ve been waiting so long
Sand dunes and I’m falling handcuffed to a watch

I’ve been waiting so long
I’ve been waiting

Lost in this battle
Lost in the rain
Lost in this battle
Where my hope, it comes and it goes
My hope, it blankets my rage

Time slips away
And only my memory fades
Salvation come (will my time come?)
Salvation come (come)
Come

Lost in this battle
Lost in the rain
Lost in this battle
Where my hope, it comes and it goes
And my hope, it blankets my pain
