Patience kills like loneliness

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

I hear you, and for tonight you maybe you must wait it out, but I hear the train leaves the station upon those just waiting. Waiting is tedious, and can leave you stranded, I think patience knows when what it wants is just beyond the bend.

@SW-User absolutely brilliant answer! I eould give that best answer if I had already given it to someone else. I love the way you think. It's actually lurics of a Tool song. And something I feel quite often about this life

@Bang5luts It's about being an actor on the stage versus being a passive actor on the stage, as we are always actors upon our stages. Patience can be confused for waiting, where it knows what it wants and seeks what it is after, but will leave you left waiting so often, it becomes a mindfcuk to know at times. That's the feeling I have from listening to the song.... I appreciate Tool.

You have something/someone on your mind?

@SW-User yes. I do. A unnamed entity/person.

@Bang5luts Aww, rest your heart and life may have a few tricks up it's sleeve for those that seek...... something like that. ♥
