Patience and Prudence — текст песни (Hot Cross)

These are new days with old stories so let`s wash the same denial
in similar patterns,

because the emotions have become mere background noise.

Please take the apple from your eye.

We`re blinded by desire.

Hey, when were you this tall?

Memory serves us not at all.

To understand me, you`ll have to swallow a world.

Or maybe your words.

Either way we`re up to no good,

rewriting our lives way more than we should,

and only loving each other cause we`ve never been sure that we could.

You can`t control our hearts.

You can`t console a heart that`s impossible to touch and as such
I`ve thrown out regret,

yet may have thought about it a little too much.

You find that setting standards is less like revision and more
like preparation.

So much like what we`ve heard and what we`ve seen.

So far from what we want and what we mean...
