impatience (outro) - rms lyrics

[outro poem]:

how much does it pay to be patient?
is that the same thing as complacence?
how much does it cost to be an inpatient
in the hospitals dim bas-m-nt
suffering from the condition called impatience?
the doctor says this condition has split stages

stage 1: false hope
the belief that
i can take what i give
given that what i give is the same as what i take
then my take on my stakes in this game will make me rich
the belief that
i can give away my given time
and i’m simply guaranteed to take a nickel and a dime
’til the day i say goodbye and i reach my finish line
while the clock goes
round and round again

stage 2: vivid hallucinations
i might see a younger version of myself
reciting a poem from two ripped pages
it goes
one pill, two pill
red pill, blue pill
maybe morpheus morphing us with prescription for new pills
daydream or reality?
there’s reds, blues and purples
my mind spinning in circles
round and round again
not even wheels on the school bus could handle that terrain
feel like i’m relearning what i learned from my first thousand days
twenty four thousand hours that molded my childish ways
when i chose ignorance over reality, profound mistake
i might see a younger version of myself
reading a picture book about a rodent in a cell
block of cheddar hang in front of him, he chase it but he fails
hamster wheel stay spinning
round and round again

stage 3, the final stage of this illness:
perceived paralysis
the doctor tells me what’s happens is
my body is physically fine but mind can’t fully fathom it
so it feels like i’m frozen and my ability’s inadequate
but doc -ssures me there’s no reason to be afraid
he knows how to cure my illness but only at this deeper stage
he tells me it involves tying strings to my limbs
and pulling them so he can make me grab a papers and a pen
he told me not to worry about exactly what is on ’em
just to let him take control to sign the pages at the bottom
he tells me that with a quickest fl!ck of my wrists he’ll fix
every single one of my many problems
and i believed him
so now fast forward to this very stage in my treatment
i take his word for it, cause i’d rather take it than leave it
so i let him sign my signature right on the agreement
and just like he said, i felt my body regain feeling
i just beat this illness
i just beat impatience
for a couple seconds i swear, it really felt amazing!
but then clock stop working, the wheels stop spinning, coins stop rolling
round and round again
it took until my dusk for it to really dawn on me
what if this doctor was just a figment of my illness, of my demons
using me as a p-wn for cheap
what if he lied to me?
-would you lie to me, just take my shine from me?-
and made me give in to what my impatience was asking for
made me give in for a quick fix just so he could sn-tch my soul

how much does it pay to be patient?
they say that it pays well
how much does it pay to be patient?
i guess i couldn’t stick around long enough to tell
how much does it pay to be patient?
maybe enough to buy another soul, so i can learn how to live
so these days won’t be last, and i can watch the world spin
round and round again
