Patience

What's the texture of this thing
Why the longing, why this way
Why can't I
I've been treating every day
Like the last one I will stay
By your side
What is it that eats me up
Holds me down

Keeps me from telling you all I
Nothing is as powerful, difficult
Doubt controls each and every word of mine
Love of my life, I ought to tell you
I've missed you and craved you all this time
I come from a place where hearts are silenced
In this stance it rules and it defies

Now tell me how long you have been waiting
The patience has been easing all the ties
Now tell me how long you have been waiting
Your patience, it moves and it defies

Now tell me how long have you been waiting
The patience has been easing all the ties
Now tell me how long have you been waiting
Your patience, it moves and it defies

Now tell me how long have you been waiting
The patience has been easing all the ties
Now tell me how long have you been waiting
Your patience, it moves and it defies
