Almost Had to Start a Fight / In and Out of Patience
Parquet Courts
[Part I: Almost Had to Start a Fight]

[Verse 1]
Almost, almost, almost, almost, almost had to start a fight
Don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know how to react so I won't
What do, what do, what do, what do you do when you are provoked?
When does, when does, when does, when does, when does something stop being a joke?

[Verse 2]
Caught up, caught up, caught up, caught up in our morbid modern lives
Adapt, adapt, adapt, adapt to the void then if you must
Into, into, into, into this perverted status quo
What if, what if, what if, what if I've grown tired of being polite?

[Chorus 1]
Why am I searching for reason?
I'm in the chaos dimension
Reason's eclipsed by tension

[Verse 3]
I want, I want, I want, I want not to feel numb about death
Finding, finding, finding, finding peace is not an easy task
Breathing, breathing, breathing, breathing to see if there's any left
Reading, reading, reading, reading about how many people died and
[Chorus 2]
Can't someone tell me the reason?
I'm in the chaos dimension
Trapped in a brutal invention

[Part II: In and Out of Patience]

[Chorus 1]
If it stops I'm, if it stops I'm, if it stops I'm having a bad dream

[Verse 1]
In and out of patience
I just can't keep it around
Most of mine's been taken
Is there a finite amount?
Had a little left (But I gave it to you)
Now someone's at my door (And they need some too)
Lighting up my phone (Darkening my mood)
And all I got left is this shit attitude
At least music is playing in my head

[Chorus 2]
If it stops I'm, if it stops I'm, if it stops I'm having an unshakable nightmare

[Verse 2]
In and out of patience
Don't have enough to share
Sometimes on life itself
I'm neither here nor there
The MTA (Took the first of it)
Twenty-minute delay (Wasn't the worst of it)
So hot underground (You could burn to death)
Now you're right on time to take what I got left
Funky music playing in my head
[Chorus 3]
If it stops I'm, if it stops I'm, and if it stops I'm counting on you
