Patience, I'm coming loose. I'm falling through again.
Held on for much too long. I wasn't built like you.
Why do I feel alone in such a crowded room?
They've come to put me down. I've lost my way somehow....
And I have felt this pain for so long.
And I have felt this way for so long.
And I have been this way for so long.
And I have felt this pain for so long.
Patience, where have you gone? It's all so strange today.
I need to feel something. I need to feel again.
All my new friends and lovers wrap themselves in two.
All my new protestants and everyone between screaming," Go! And save yourself! Yeah now go and be like us! Yeah now, Oh you've gone too far ahead."
And then their screams remind me why I'm here....
I hid myself away. I watched you from the shade.
