VERSE
[These lyrics with Rhy. Fig. 1]

Startling the fearful.
Is this a test? It has to be,

Draining patience, drain vitality.
This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little...

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
But I'm still right here, giving blood, keeping faith
And I'm still right here
Wait it out
Gonna wait it out
Wait it out (be patient)
If there were no rewards to reap
No 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
The damaged and broken met along
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away
By now
And I still may
I still may
Be patient
Be patient
Be patient
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
If there were no rewards to reap (I must keep reminding myself of this)
No loving embrace to see me through (I must keep reminding myself of this)
This tedious path I've chosen here (I must keep reminding myself of this)
I certainly would've walked away (I must keep reminding myself of this)
By now
And I still may
And I still may
And I still may
And I'm
Gonna wait it out
Gonna wait it out
Wait it out
Gonna wait it out

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.

Song ends with repetition of Part I.
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
