lyrics

Patience is a virtue, my friend
I'm back in the megalopolis: to what end?
I frittered away my freedom
Now I'm left wondering what I could've been

I had so much promise
Now I'm just a piece of real estate
So much for being honest!
Well, maybe it's not too late

Patience is a virtue, my friend
Questions about my choices come to no end
I know that there's hope yet
The clock on the wall doesn't seem to fret

I'm a sexual being,
But now I'm behind bars
Tell me, what's the meaning?
What's the use looking at the stars?

Patience is a virtue, my friend
The plot plays out until we reach the end
Follow your path through the darkness
Find the heat in this ice fortress

Patience is a virtue, my friend
And I refuse to surrender to what's been
For every moment that I give in,
I'll whirl around until I start to spin
