Treading

                      Life seems to drain from our very existence
                      When the whole time we spend it slowly dying
                      How do you survive? How can you feel alive?
                      I'm waiting for things to be better
                      They say things will get better
                      But in the meantime I am living in a world 
                      Where things aren't getting better

                      Who am I becoming? What am I becoming?
                      What else can I do when I feel this hopeless?
                      I can pray, for the thousandth time today
                      I'm waiting for things to be better
                      They say things will get better
                      But in the meantime I am living in a world 
                      Where things aren't getting better

                      Waiting for the signal to come that it's all over
                      You tell me that it's all fate and that it's all too late
                      I guess some things just never change
                      I'm waiting for things to be better
                      They say things will get better
                      But in the meantime I am living in a world 
                      Where things aren't getting better

                      I will put my trust in those that hope for me
                      How can I believe them, when I don't even see them
                      I guess I'll just tread water and see
                      I'm waiting for things to be better
                      They say things will get better
                      But in the meantime I am living in a world 
                      Where things aren't getting better
