Patient, just as I am
As always
Watch the time go by
Nothing left to pass by
The minutes follow me
Drunken little people
Work away in me
Why, won't they leave me
Leave me alone
When I don\'t even want me
Want me
I have to
Kill the words
Before they
Form a sentence
A sentence that is me
Judged by those that carry
The patient sits in cradled arms
That comfort me by strangling
Why won't they leave me
Leave me alone
When I don't even want me
Want me
The patient mental sits and stares
An idle mind that's empty
Screaming, staring back
Why won't they leave him
Leave him alone
A passive speared ritual
Driven by our war ship
The hate driven in me
They have to
Kill the meal
Before they
Can consume
Consume my inner peace
Without the understanding
Trapped inside the works
The hands are moving me
The patient mental sits and stares
An idle mind that's empty
Screaming, staring back
Why won't they leave him
Leave him alone
A passive speared ritual
Driven by our war ship
The hate driven in me
Release me
Let me go
Why do they observe me
There's nothing here to cure
I can see the silhouettes
That sit behind the mirror
I'm just like a clock upon the wall
Always moving but never going anywhere
The patient mental sits and stares
An idle mind that's empty
Screaming, staring back
Why won't they leave him
Leave him alone
The patient mental sits and stares
An idle mind that's empty
Screaming, staring back
A passive speared ritual
Driven by our war ship
The hate driven in me
