Gimme, gimme, gimme some time to think
I'm in the bathroom, looking at me
Face in the mirror is all I need (ooh)
Wait until the reaper takes my life
Never gonna get me out alive
I will live a thousand million lives (ooh)

My patience is waning

Is this entertaining?
Our patience is waning
Is this entertaining?

I-I-I got this feeling, yeah, you know

Where I'm losing all control
'Cause there's magic in my bones
I-I-I got this feeling in my soul
Go ahead and throw your stones
'Cause there's magic in my bones

Playing with a stick of dynamite
There was never gray in black and white
There was never wrong 'til there was right (ooh, oh)
Feeling like a boulder hurtling
Seeing all the vultures circling
Burning in the flames I'm working in
Turning in a bed that's darkening

 My patience is waning

Is this entertaining?
Our patience is waning
Is this entertaining?

I-I-I got this feeling, yeah, you know
Where I'm losing all control
'Cause there's magic in my bones (in my bones)
I-I-I got this feeling in my soul
Go ahead and throw your stones
'Cause there's magic in my bones'

Cause there's magic in my bones

Look in the mirror of my mind

Turning the pages of my life
Walking the path so many paced a million times
Drown out the voices in the air
Leaving the ones that never cared
Picking the pieces up and building to the sky

My patience is waning
Is this entertaining?
My patience is waning
Is this entertaining?

I-I-I got this feeling, yeah, you know
Where I'm losing all control
'Cause there's magic in my bones (magic in my bones)
I-I-I got this feeling in my soul (soul)
Go ahead and throw your stones
'Cause there's magic in

There goes my mind (I-I-I)

Don't mind
There goes my mind (there it goes, there it goes)
There goes my mind (I-I-I)
Don't mind (there it goes)
There goes my mind
'Cause there's magic in my bones

Alina's stare in terror directed towards me fueled me with rage I have held in for so long. Everything came back clashing at me, every memory and experience I have had ever since I crossed that damned Fold with my Crows and the screeches of the Volcra creatures, that are filled with terrors and horrors and sang death, flooded and surrounded the Skiff, swarming it, just waiting for their turn for the light to weaken so they could attack and catch their prey. I felt my whole body tense, shaking from all the tension formed and my breath becoming unsteady. The palms of my hands started sweating as I lowered my head back, facing the wooden ground and suddenly a gunshot emerged from behind me as I flinched and spun my head over my shoulder to look behind.

"Mal!" Alina shouted in surprise as she was still kneeling on the wooden floor.

I ducked when another shot rang through, and another, I kept low, but so many shots missed the targets as I looked up in front of me, seeing Ivan standing in front of Aleksander, moving his hands and bringing them forth as Mal grunts in pain, forced to his knees with a thud. Blood coming out of his mouth. Ivan is clenching his heart. Mal lost his grip around his gun, let it fall to the ground. Alina was panting, began crawling on the ground, trying to reach him as she extended an arm towards Mal, but the chain on her feet held her back, chained on her spot. She kept calling his name in agony.
