    <i>D-CELL GAMES:</i> ([Bandcamp lyrics](https://dcellgames.bandcamp.com/track/waiting))

    da da da da da da da da da
    da da da da da da da da da
    that's all i'm hearing
    when you are near me
    a sweet and lonely beating of the heart
    i'm bursting out like a fractured battery
    leaking out what's been stuck inside of me
    da da da da
    da da da
    the sound of it is killing me so slowly, so slowly,
    as i'm waiting, i'm waiting, i'm waiting, i'm waiting for you

    i try
    i sigh
    i lie
    why?

    where do stories go when forgotten?
    what do puzzles do when we solve them?
    da da da da
    da da da da
    on and on and on and on
    da da da da
    da da da da
    on and on and on and on
    i've been wondering
    if all the nothing
    i have can go somewhere new
    but for now i'll slowly just be waiting, and waiting,
    and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting for you

    you
    say things
    that i’ve
    been trying to forget
    and i've
    been stuck
    on loop inside my head
    because
    of all
    the compliments i get
    from you
    always
    make me
    feel worse

    i've had enough
    i'm breaking out
    i'm waiting no more, no waiting

    i'm fighting a way
    out of the haze
    i'm waiting no more on you

    i'm so sick and tired of
    watching trains
    pass by the day
    so i am
    waiting no more, waiting no more on you

    you
    say things
    that i’ve
    been trying to forget
    and i've
    been stuck
    on loop inside my head
    because
    of all
    the compliments i get
    from you
    make me
    feel worse than when you try
    to push
    me closer to
    the edge
    so now
    i'm done
    with it

    no more waiting
    i'm done waiting

    <i>HSMusic Wiki:</i> (wiki lyrics)

    (Da, da-da-da-da-da - da, da-da-da-da)
    (Da, da-da-da-da-da - da, da-da-da-da)
    That's all I'm hearing
    When you are near me
    A sweet and lonely beating of the heart
    I'm bursting out like a fractured battery
    Leaking out what's been stuck inside of me
    (Da, da-da, da)
    (Da, da-da)
    The sound of it is killing me so slowly, so slowly
    As I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you

    I try

    Why?

    <i>D-CELL GAMES:</i> ([Bandcamp lyrics](https://dcellgames.bandcamp.com/track/empty-diary))

    i wanna share what's in my heart
    but my emotions tear apart
    all the words, all the chords
    before they have a chance

    i try to write them in a book
    but all the effort that it took
    i'll rip the page
    and let the pieces slowly drift away

    i can't escape
    this feeling and
    the shadows that it casts from it's core

    i can't find
    a new light
    to guide me back from the dark

    every time i open up
    this book of mine
    i always find
    it's all lost, all gone
    no thanks to the endless loop of
    apathy, perpetually
    tearing up the pages of
    my feelings to nothing
    and i~~ can't make it stop

    a melody
    was effortlessly free
    but now i only see
    an empty diary

    throw the notebook to the ground
    to join the pages from it's bounds
    had enough
    this feeling stole the passion right out of me

    i lay my head into my hands
    i've given it all that I can
    how do i
    open up and let the words free

    oh i reach out
    to find a song
    to give it a meaning for myself

    and i'll take hold
    and i'll cling tight
    but it always slips away

    every time i open up
    this book of mine
    i always find
    it's all lost, all gone
    no thanks to the endless loop of
    apathy, perpetually
    tearing up the pages of
    my feelings to nothing
    and i~~ can't make it stop

    a melody
    was effortlessly free
    but now i only see
    an empty diary
