For Those Who Patiently Endure Songtext
von Lauren Auder

I left my heart in my ankle
When that car hit, when that car hit
And I kept your guilt in my pocket
Where you left it, where you left it
′Cause you were drunk, out of control
And now you're married, I feel so old
And when you fed me to the floor
I′ll search for God but I'm not so pure 'Cause I know I′m love′s job
And this I fear I do adore
'Cause I know I′m love's job
And this I fear I can′t ignore
'Cause when our vessels come together
We never think they′ll fall apart
And though we said it'd be forever
You must look back and just laugh

(I claim I no longer sacrifice myself for romantic ideals)
(I long for the day I say it, the best thing's real)


Searching for something my parents have
This body will perish, for this I′m glad
The infinite, the eternal, both in my hands
My internal self fails to understand
But I met it in arms overseas
Curious of what I′ve overseen, what I'll take with me
Some say we′re all pawns in a game
I refute this till my jaw goes lame
This is for those who knew there was more
This is for those who patiently endure
This is for those who thought there was more
This is for those who patiently endure
