Ooo...
I met the monster in the alley
I had a thing or two to say
An angel kindly held my tongue
Until a calmer breeze will sway
Sometimes a punch will
go no further
Than the knuckle on the wall
Sometimes a bitter taste
will linger
Sometimes a mouth can't make the call
Patience, patience,
take the knife out of my hand
Don't let me pierce the surface of regret
Long live time's best friend
Just like the etching in the block
of soap and writing on the wall
Sometimes they come from minds
that volume guides
But their sound is much too small
And a bleed will always cut the crack
And a shade will let you hide
A bumpy road will get you there
But time will let you fly
Patience, patience,
take the knife out of my hand
Don't let me pierce the surface of regret
Long live time's best friend
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't let the signs or
warning drive on past
Don't let the blazing sun be damned
You can fall to war with
one trembling blast
But there'll be less of a mess,
one brick at a time
When the pressure has you choking,
and you're fighting for your breath.
Death don't show no mercy,
but know that mercy knows
no death.
Remember death don't
show no mercy,
but know that mercy knows
no death.
Remember, death don't show no mercy,
but know that mercy knows
no death.
Patience, patience,
take the knife out of my hand.
Don't let me pierce the surface of regret
Long live time's best friend
Patience, patience
Take the knife out of my hand
Don't let me pierce the surface of regret
Long live time's best friend
You
