Kicks in Lyrics by Colin Macleod

2018

[Verse 1]
I got lost when I was young
Kicking shins and throwing glass like brittle scars
The boys gone now I'm a shadow
Frightened of the creeping dark and twilight hours
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So let it be known
One day I will leave this place
With a hope for something wide and new
Though hell is just a step away
[Chorus 1]
Waiting 'till it kicks in
Waiting 'till it kicks in
Waiting 'till the words fall out me like a heartbeat
Prayer for a screaming life
What do you want to hear from me?
I am nothing but a bad man
Waiting for your screaming light
Tell me when it kicks in
[Verse 2]
We all used to love this place
Dirt under our nails from the daily grind
The hazey lights would spin us round and round
In the darkness we would always settle down
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So let it be known
One day I will leave this place
With a hope for something wide and new
Though hell is just a step away
[Chorus 2]
Waiting 'till it kicks in
Waiting 'till it kicks in
Waiting 'till the words fall out me like a heartbeat
Prayer for a screaming life
What do you want to hear from me?
I am nothing but a bad man
Waiting for your twisting light
So tell me when it kicks in
[Bridge]
See the world collapse under the
Weight of something I could call my own?
I'm not dead, just slowly dying
Long enough to swing the rope to you
[Chorus 3]
So tell me when it kicks in
Tell me when it kicks in
Tell me when the words fall out me like a heartbeat
Prayer for a screaming life
What do you want to hear from me?
I am nothing but a bad man
Waiting for your twisting light
So tell me when it kicks in
[Outro]
Tell me when it kicks in
Tell me when it kicks in
