The Patient
A groan of tedium escapes me startling the fearful
Is this a test?
It has to be
Otherwise, I can't go on
Draining patience, drain vitality
This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old
But I'm still right here, giving blood, keeping faith
And I'm still right here
But I'm still right here, giving blood, keeping faith
And I'm still right here
Wait it out
Gonna wait it out
Wait it out (be patient)
If there were no rewards to reap
No loving embrace to see me through
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away
By now
Gonna wait it out
If there were no desire to heal
The damaged and broken met along
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away
By now
And I still may
I still may
Be patient
Be patient
Be patient
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
If there were no rewards to reap (I must keep reminding myself of this)
No loving embrace to see me through (I must keep reminding myself of this)
This tedious path I've chosen here (I must keep reminding myself of this)
I certainly would've walked away (I must keep reminding myself of this)
By now
And I still may
And I still may
And I still may
And I'm
Gonna wait it out
Gonna wait it out
Wait it out
Gonna wait it out
Is this a test?
It has to be
Otherwise, I can't go on
Draining patience, drain vitality
This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old
But I'm still right here, giving blood, keeping faith
And I'm still right here
But I'm still right here, giving blood, keeping faith
And I'm still right here
Wait it out
Gonna wait it out
Wait it out (be patient)
If there were no rewards to reap
No loving embrace to see me through
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away
By now
Gonna wait it out
If there were no desire to heal
The damaged and broken met along
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away
By now
And I still may
I still may
Be patient
Be patient
Be patient
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
If there were no rewards to reap (I must keep reminding myself of this)
No loving embrace to see me through (I must keep reminding myself of this)
This tedious path I've chosen here (I must keep reminding myself of this)
I certainly would've walked away (I must keep reminding myself of this)
By now
And I still may
And I still may
And I still may
And I'm
Gonna wait it out
Gonna wait it out
Wait it out
Gonna wait it out
