When minutes fall asleep and your ears ring, both eyes grow numb and tire of what they see. Your soul it screams but your phone fails to sing; Endure these times and let all things just be. Forsake your ev'ry impulse; you're not dead, for harm precipitates when Rashness acts. Trust you'll come around and keep your head, save your wicked energy, relax. Don't scan your memory in search of holes; it's easy to reflect, re-run, repeat. Don't wring your hands or pace with itching soles; The nectar of true Patience drowns defeat. Don't fool yourself; quick words may dull the sting, To wait instead is such a precious thing.

To Wait
When minutes fall asleep and your ears ring, both eyes grow numb and tire of what they see. Your soul it screams but your phone fails to sing; Endure these times and let all things just be. Forsake your ev'ry impulse; you're not dead, for harm precipitates when Rashness acts. Trust you'll come around and keep your head, save your wicked energy, relax. Don't scan your memory in search of holes; it's easy to reflect, re-run, repeat. Don't wring your hands or pace with itching soles; The nectar of true Patience drowns defeat. Don't fool yourself; quick words may dull the sting, To wait instead is such a precious thing.
