Patience

I'm under when I'm feeling hit A cold sweat and a coughing fit, oh I couldn't breathe for a minute there Like the world lost all its air I swore that I'd never sing again But then through the cracked cement I felt the sound ringing in my ears But I'll never get those moments back So I hold my arms over my head And I tell myself it's for the best That I deserve my own patience Repeat it until it makes sense I'll tell you more of the same As I choke on my family name, oh God What you must think of me All alone in therapy Back when I held my patience Right inside of my child chest Like it's always been my intent Just straightened out of broken hand Even if it's in my expense No matter how bad it may get So I hold my arms over my head And I tell myself it's for the best That I deserve my own patience I'll say it until it makes sense My bloodline got the best of me And inherits hits I'll never see When it all comes back to me I'll let it break my heart And then I'll let it pig So I hold my arms over my head And I tell myself it's for the best That I deserve my own patience Repeat it until it makes sense
