Patience

(альбом: Kiss Yr Frenemies - 2018)

Patience is
A painful gift
What a shame to wait
And patience, you
Aren't leaving any time soon
Sweatshirt off and bed unmade

Calm and cheerful
Boy, you're giving me an earful
All about the rotten fits of haste
So patience, please
You've brought me to my knees
Fortitude and weakness both in spades

My lesson's in the lines
Time, we want more time
Time, we want more time

Patience claims, "Sleep it off for one more stale day
In the morning wake up feeling new"
But there's a mark on my neck
It's the one your lips have left
And it's beating softly with my pulse

Congruent to the shape
Of your swinging home state
A token of last night care of the midwest

My lesson's in the lines
Time, we want more time
Time, we want more time

And I'm damaged by design
Time, we want more time
Time, we want more time

Patience mentioned I was kind and well-intentioned
Although it might not come across that way
So thank your muse, share some gentle praise from me too
I'll be right here when she fades
