ENDLESS PATIENCE

[Intro] [syncopated bass, dry drum kit, clean electric guitar stabs] [Verse 1] [rhythmic male vocals] A little here, something more And this patience, listen to the lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely [vocal delay effect] [Chorus] [falsetto vocals, bright synth lead] From everyone else, you're at home If everyone else, and for fuck's sake How many times do you need to be told? This is something you should know by now You will never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never tell them I said never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never tell them how unhappy, how unhappy you are [Verse 2] [bass and drums continue, guitar drops out] A tiny tiny sacrifice, just a little concession Hand out your kindness twice, of course give more, now some more Be good, be humble, check in often, make a note Do not get lost in all your thoughts and all your wants Do not be late, do not forget, do not create any regrets Do not stumble, be right, be selfless, just stay humble Don't act selfless, now act like you felt this, like you like this, like you want this, like you chose this Like you know there's consequences for yourself Don't act so defensive, you're so relentless Don't be such a downer, nobody's out to get you Nobody's trying to hurt you now, just calm down right now We said calm down and close your mouth Do it for yourself now, stop, it's for yourself Now it's for yourself and herself and himself and themselves and themself Check your feelings, get some help and now shelf that annoying little thing you used to call you [Bridge] [music stops briefly, then resumes with bass and light percussion] Do you realize how this makes you look? You're so defensive, why is that? Your choice is only, only, only, only, only, only, only, only for yourself But you made the wrong one Why would you want to do that? Why would you even risk that? Why would you ever make room for someone other than the ones who already have that? Love is not for the ones who never had it, don't make it a habit Who would act like that? Do you know what they did? Did you hear how they said? Did you not know that or misunderstand that? All the terrible things that, yes they did that Don't you understand now what a horrible thing that Never a reason to ever forgive that, you should know that, you should stop that You should never give a second thought or chance at or another glance at It doesn't matter the kindness and forgiveness is how we move ahead It's for everyone else, not for you and not for them Never that, not for the ones who actually need that Reserve your love for the ones that truly deserve that Never consider anyone for love if they haven't shown that For any redemption, only give what you give back Love is a transaction that the poor just bad at If they could never afford that, they should never be afforded that Don't ever spread that, the only way you will ever get ahead in life is if you look out for just yourself But make sure you remember that you have to do it for everyone else Just like how we said, or else, and for fuck's sake [Chorus] [full instrumentation, falsetto vocals] Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never tell them how unhappy you are I'm not unhappy, I'm not unhappy Did you hear me? I'm not unhappy, I'm not unhappy Is that better? I'm okay, I'm just great I'm not unhappy, I'm not unhappy Yes, of course, I'm fine Because I can accept that you needed to feel like you had control over something So you can pretend it's me [distorted synth swell, abrupt end]
