the patient
a groan of tedium escapes me,
startling the fearful
is this a test? it has to be,
otherwise 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.

wait it out,
going to wait it out,
be patient (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
going to 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
i must keep reminding myself of this

and 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

going to wait it out
opinion 01: maynard is trying to convince himself that if he "waits it out," trent will eventually get tired of fighting and he'll win the candy bar.

opinion 02: i swear, he must be talking about something dealing with the bible!

opinion 03: one key to survival is having patience. this is the first song i've ever heard that has to deal with patience (guns 'n roses suck). without patience in the space-time continuum, there's no use in living your short and pathetic life.
