Tool Dissectional - The Patient lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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) [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] If there were no desire to heal A damaged and broken man along This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away by now [Bridge] I still may. And I still may Be patient I must keep reminding myself of this... [Chorus]
