lyrics
patience is a virtue
addicted to faith
can i live?
confidence
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. patience is a virtue
hold tight, breathe easy...
we're starving ourselves with anxiety.
constantly, we're trying to run;
let's slow down and try walking sometime.
looking back at my change of direction,
i now can say that
i have learned that
she's not important
and i was foolish to care so much.
why do we try so hard
when satisfaction is so close?
these days it's hard enough to please myself;
you'll just have to wait in line.
sit down and take a number;
we're all looking for our answers.
and i'm still learning how to breathe again;
turn around take two steps back.
there must be bigger worries.
life is full of questions;
we can answer them if we take the time.
sometimes things don't work out;
sit back and try to believe.
focus:
don't procrastinate.
don't sidetrack yourself like i did.
so, let me be your reminder.
let me make the mistake for you.
i've learned... she wasn't worth it;
i've learned... patience is a virtue.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. addicted to faith
the temptation of desire:
the worst of many flaws.
and i was beckoned by an angel,
or what i presumed to be...
her touch concluded me.
my stomach turns as i embrace:
dishonest deception
your lies become you.
no, it wasn't worth it;
i will never trust again.
never again.
a part of what i thought was me has died;
there's not a place to run to.
there's not a face to turn to.
remains of hope have buried us alive.
how could i let it take me?
love is a calamity.
angel, please don't end me.
a time for desperation;
you've chained yourself to me.
but i'm still... fighting your resistance:
the shackles broken free.
now, watch me walk away.
my stomach turns as i embrace:
dishonest deception.
your lies become you.
no, it wasn't worth it;
i won't let this be the end.
never could i have predicted;
i made the mistake:
i walked into your arms.
i instantly became addicted to faith...
angel, please don't end me.
angel, please don't end me.

3. can i live?
sometimes you don't know where you are
til you're there,
and it's too late.
and it's too late to find
a better way...
the time's escape...
so let's not lie:
the stars are brighter on the other side tonight.
the clock has died,
but surely this cannot be over.
the truth be told...
the walls stare hard again these days as if they knew everything.
it's not the case.
you know that feeling when you're floating close to drowning when you're hoping for something more?
when you look down, you'll find there's just no way to turn.
so let's dig down;
i guess it's time we learned how to fly.
there's no pretending happy endings when we're trapped inside of our lives.
sometimes you don't know where you are
until you're there and it's too late
to find a better way,
a better way to live;
you're in too deep.
so in the end,
we'll look back on distant times when we'd begin
to understand
that life is only what we make of it...
we've got to try,
and then maybe we'll see why
we try so hard to die.
then maybe we'll see why
we try so hard to die...

4. confidence
i can't find my confidence today,
and i don't feel like ever waking up.
you don't look so bad yourself today;
hear the words i say:
i speak them,
you just run away.
and i can't show
you how real...
how real things could be.
and i believe
you could feel...
that you could feel something.
but when you're close,
there's things i want to say.
but i end up just speaking at all.
and if i spoke, i fear you'd loko the other way.
a smile's not displayed...
my confidence erased...
