Patience (word & music by Taylor Johnson)
When we first met, I gave you all my rubble Turned it into artwork, made the mountains crumble The bedrock couldn’t stop us, and we carved a place into the dirt Like we had all the time on Earth
A path with no terminus, the thought of thaw seemed blasphemous Our past formed a prologue to an age named after us Ages turned to epochs, periods seemed possible for all its worth Cause we held all the time on Earth
Cordilleran chemistry, blossoming morphology Etched out into a valley bound for the sea Full confidence in our advance Together we’d accumulate and overcome all that could ablate
Patience is a virtue when there’s no future to lose Patience is a virtue when you’re future-proof
But something changed so fast Something else more violent than us Full retreat and full collapse Not since Pangea broke up
And in a blink it seemed that rubble’s right in front of me Blocking out our scenery Receding and rewinding, leaving scars and bleeding sores And I just can’t hear your voice anymore
And now you’re gone, obscured by an arret And for the first time I’m counting all the days left And I feel the weight of time, like it was never mine and it hurts Cause there’s no time on Earth
Patience is a virtue when you’re future-proof Patience is a virtue when there’s no future to lose Patience is a virtue but there’s no future to lose
