"The Despair Factor" lyrics - AFI

Along the path where the stream is talking
I breathe the mist and continue walking
The wood, it whispers in a language of its own
As a sigh escaped my lips
I feel the light caress of fingertips
That steal away the breath and leave me on my own

[Chorus:]
Waiting by the stairs
Waiting, I despair
Waiting, I despair
Waiting by the stairs

[Post-Chorus:]
My whole life is a dark room
One, big, dark room

Do I hear the hollow sound?
Footsteps resounding on this frozen ground
Or the familiar disappointment of the echoes of my own?

[Chorus:]
Waiting by the stairs
Waiting, I despair
Waiting, I despair
Waiting by the stairs
Waiting by the stairs
Waiting, I despair
Waiting, I despair
Waiting by the stairs

[Bridge:]
Somehow I ended up here in between
Where there is always the comfort
Of knowing I'll never be seen
When I fall
When I fall
I wait for just one touch

[Outro:]
And I fall weightless, endless
Faithless, I'll adore you
A single touch, before I fade
Painless let me pass through
Weightless, endless
Faithless, I'll adore you
A single touch, before I fade
Painless let me pass through
