Patience

i've been chasing shadows
i've been around the world
i've been chasing solace
when it's been with me all along

i've been reading stories
of times less hard
i've been meaning to see you
but graves, they scare me so

i let you come out of your shell
i let you be yourself
and you did the same for me

but your thoughts weren't wise
and you've caused my demise
now i sit here patiently

until i die

i've been working slowly
towards the light you flew to
i've been chasing ghosts
and i'm finding i'm not strong

i've been walking faster
every day i can
i've been wanting to see you
but six feet's as close as i can get

i let you come out of your shell
i let you be yourself
and you did the same for me

but your thoughts weren't wise
and you've caused my demise
now i sit here patiently

until i rise from these ashes
and get as close as i can to normal
like the day before you left
until this heart gives out
and a new day, i've found
is all i'm waiting for

now i sit here patiently
until i die
