cardinal virtues

lyrics

fear is everything you ignorant man
fear is the wall between us and them
fear is the mortar fear is the stone
fear is the rule of the land coming home
fear holds the one with the sum of her side
fear holds the other in silence and lies
I have no army so I open my wings
fear holds my place in the order of things

patience is viral and patience is vain
but patience can keep me from going insane
patience will hold as my insight decays
patience alights me and keeps me ablaze
losing my patience it ruined my life
in patience undone I passed over the signs
with patience in place I would never have strayed
I'll try to be patient 'til the end of my days

gratitude might just hold me in place
gratitude might just assuage my disgrace
gratitude might just reveal my next steps
'cause gratitude gains what ingratitude left
gratitude help me gratitude please
I'm alone I'm ungrateful I don't know what I need
ingratitude poisons and keeps us apart
oh gratitude bring me the truth of your heart
