There's Only Forgiveness

[00:16.39] Now it's in my head cuz they're one step ahead
[00:19.36] It's under my skin cuz it's a little too thin
[00:22.16] And it's in my heart just to tear me apart
[00:27.14] Now you're feeding off the aggression
[00:29.71] Misery loves company and twisted forms of affection
[00:32.17] Meet the human heart where hostility lives
[00:34.72] Sometimes revenge feels so good that I don't want to forgive
[00:37.92] And oh no thus the cycle continues
[00:41.14] It's an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
[00:43.54] Til they're all loose and you're bitter blind and numb
[00:46.51] You bark but can't bite because you're all gums
[00:49.15] And is justice ever done are you ever satisfied
[00:52.08] Was it about justification or about pride
[00:54.73] Stay away from the truth it might teach you things you don't like
[00:57.96] My insecurity is out to prove that I'm right
[01:00.15] (Chorus)
[01:00.79] I don't want your apologies
[01:01.92] I don't want restitution
[01:03.06] I want to hear you're wrong but I don't want resolutions
[01:05.77] I want justice but I don't care for peace
[01:08.36] I don't want to be bound but I don't choose to be free
[01:11.56] I want for you what I feel inside of me
[01:14.00] And as soon as I know what that is I'll share willingly
[01:16.67] It seems like it should be simpler
[01:19.34] But the human condition runs from wisdom
[01:21.50] And we're not as bright as we give ourselves credit
[01:24.17] We repeat the same mistakes before we can regret it
[01:27.55] I tried to let it go but it held me in place
[01:29.52] There's something better but I don't like the taste
[01:32.20] Bitterness is easier to swallow than the sting of grace
[01:35.55] Memories can be neglected but impossible to erase
[01:38.51] They reappear in different ways
[01:40.87] And most of the time we're not even sure of what it is that we hate
[01:43.81] We just follow our feelings into an unhealthy state of being with no plans of leaving
[01:49.26] (Chorus)
[02:05.88] If I let this go then it's all in the past
[02:20.89] And if I hold onto it I still have something to grasp
[02:24.48] What would we do if we had nothing to fight about
[02:27.90] Out of the abundance out our hearts we run our mouths
[02:30.93] And tear each other apart and inflict pain and grief
[02:33.81] Humanity wouldn't know what to do if we had world peace
[02:36.91] So you can take the sign in your front lawn down it's a nice gesture
[02:40.58] But mankind likes to go to our war it's in our fallen nature
[02:43.80] Neighbors nations corporations races insecurity and hurt works well with retaliation
[02:50.55] But don't worry it will be your turn soon
[02:53.35] So plot your revenge as you clean your knife wound
[02:56.45] And 'I forgive you' is not an option
[02:58.45] It's too uncomfortable
[02:59.98] It's much easier to be miserable than vulnerable
[03:02.92] You can save that for the weak and the religious
[03:04.92] But there is no justice or no peace, there's only forgiveness
[03:15.93]
