Lyrics

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 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
