Tool - 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 acts a little old.

But I`m still right here, giving blood and keeping faith. and I`m still right
Here.
But I`m still right here, giving blood and keeping faith. and I`m still right
Here.

I`m gonna wait it out

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.

I`m 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.

I still may. and I still may.
Be patient.

I must keep reminding myself of this...

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.
And I still may. and I still may. and I still may.

I`m gonna wait it out.
I`m gonna wait it out.
Gonna wait it out.
Gonna wait it out.
