Patient Baby, originally "hard just too," was written in 2009.
lyrics
it's hard just to believe that we met in the measure
when we traveled a few different directions
and realized the same length.
it's difficult although I see in colour all of your
fingers and flowers. "this wallpaper needs to get
out of your room, it's just sour."
is that what you think do you have a place for this length?
out of the window, from the corner,
after bouncing from the back of the room
and singing it's brains out.
the water leaks down from where the thing got it's sound,
the sound that got our measure tapes out
and now we argue about eighths.
said this goes here, this there. this is some situation
so why don't you follow my placement
and into that patience?
patient baby this has only got you by the back of your collar,
and you holler like a tiger getting tagged on its toe
well like the whiteness that the thing makes you choke.
I wonder why the school house burned down
when you play with lighters and they grab at your throat
or by the back of your collar
from the corner,
and then it drags you to the back of the room
and shows you the way out.
see, we'll see
that I feel kinda weak, you could say,
but it's only of your heart beating so far,
a dirty eye will see you fall and I will see you covered in blood
in the forest, shouting shouting to see out.
copper see your sounds alright
and I'd love to come and say well
patient baby this is only got you out of the window
from the corner
and it drags you to the back of the room,
yes and after bouncing from the back of the room
we're singing our brains out.
