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, keeping faith
And I'm still right here

Wait it out,
Gonna wait it out,
Be patient (wait it out)

If there were no reward to [reap / heal],
[No / A] loving embrace to see me through
This tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now
Gonna wait it out

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

And I still may (sigh) I still may

Be patient
I must keep reminding myself of this

And if there were no rewards to [reap / heal],
[No / A] 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

Gonna wait it out
