Verse 1
The clock is spinning, but the hands don’t move
Jaws locked tight, I need the groove
Temptation gnawing, teeth on the bone
But I hold it steady, it won’t be long

Pre-Chorus
I hold steady…
Wait—wait—hold on—hold on
Chaos surrounds me…
Can I stand strong

Chorus
Anticipation, yeah, it cuts like a blade
Silence in the fury, to the wait I’m enslaved
Anticipation, I’m the venom and the cure
The longer that I’m waiting, the stronger I endure

Verse 2
Heartbeat pounding like a war drum sound
Every urge inside me wants to tear it down
But I sip slow poison with a steady hand
‘Cause control’s the weapon they can’t understand

Pre-Chorus
I hold steady…
Wait—wait—hold on—hold on
Chaos surrounds me…
Can I stand strong

Chorus
Anticipation, yeah, it cuts like a blade
Silence in the fury, to the wait I’m enslaved
Anticipation, I’m the venom and the cure
The longer that I’m waiting, the stronger I endure

Bridge
Tick… tick… tick…
Every second is mine
Tick… tick… tick…
Like a fuse on a line
Hold it, hold it—
‘Til the moment I strike
Patience is power,
Patience is fight

Final Chorus
Anticipation, oh, it runs through my veins
The smell of the rain, the weight in the air
Anticipation, I’m the venom and the prayer
The stillness before motion, I’ll still be there
