Analysis of I Patiently Wait
Bryan Shirk 1983 (Philadelphia)
I'm Going Insane,
Depression and Pain,
Get Out of My Brain,
Today is the Day
I'm Changing My Ways,
Thing's Need to Change,
My Time Went to Waste,
I Stare into Space,
Scared and Afraid
As I Stare and I Daze,
Angel's they Wait,
To Take Me Away
As I Lay in a Grave,
I Wait and I Wait,
My Soul Wait's,
It Patiently Waits,
To Get Taken to Grace,
To a Place
Where Peace Stay's,
It Radiates,
Sound Waves
That Amaze
And Shine like Ray's,
That Vibrate
In a State
That Penetrates
In Concise Complex Ways,
It Delicately Hibernates,
In this Place,
There's No Escape,
Don't Lose Faith,
It's Our Fate
To One Day
Help God Create.
