Arkhipov Calm

Fresh faced oligarch we have grown far apart

My arkhipov calm will serve me in due time

Turbulence shakes the teeth from the chaos that you speak

With every barb that you threw, I saw you list to the side

And I won't sink with you, I have so much more to do

Promises, the lost cause, but the bones will heal in time

You see the patience is a test, it separates boys from men

And my arkhipov calm will serve me in time

It's the fires that we quell that save us from our hells

It's the wars that we don't fight that keeps love alive
