There's Only Forgiveness Lyrics
Now it's in my head cuz they're one step ahead
Under my skin cuz it's a little too thin
And it's in my heart just to tear my apart
Now you're feeding off the aggression
Misery loves company and twisted forms of affection
Meet the human heart where hostility lives
Sometimes revenge feels so good that I don't wanna forgive
Oh no, thus the cycle continues
It's an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
Till they're all loose, and you're bitter blind and numb
You bark but can't bite because you're all gums
And is justice ever done, are you ever satisfied?
Was it about justification or about pride?
Stay away from the truth
It might teach you things you don't like
My insecurity is out to prove that I'm right
I don't want your apologies
I don't want restitution
I wanna hear you're wrong
But I don't want resolutions
I want justice, but I don't care for peace
I don't want to be bound
But I don't choose to be free
I want for you what I feel inside of me
As soon as I know what that is, I'll share willingly
It seems like it should be simpler
But the human condition runs from wisdom
We're not as bright as we give ourselves credit
We repeat the same mistakes before we can regret it
I tried to let it got but it held me in place
There's something better but I don't like the taste
Bitterness is easier to swallow than the sting of grace
Memories can be neglected, but impossible to erase
They reappear in different ways
And most of the time
We're not even sure of what it is that we hate
We just follow our feelings into an unhealthy state of being
With no plans of leaving
I don't want your apologies
I don't want restitution
I wanna hear you're wrong
But I don't want resolutions
I want justice, but I don't care for peace
I don't want to be bound
But I don't choose to be free
I want for you what I feel inside of me
As soon as I know what that is, I'll share willingly
If I let this go than it's all in the past
And if I hold onto it I still have something to grasp
What would we do if we had nothing to fight about?
Out of the abundance of our hearts we run our mouths
And tear each other apart and inflict pain and grief
Humanity wouldn't know what to do if we had world peace
So you can take the sign in your front lawn down
It's a nice gesture
But mankind likes to go to war, it's in our fallen nature
Neighbors, nations, corporations, races, insecurity, and hurt
Works well with retaliation
But don't worry, it'll be your turn soon
So plot your revenge as you clean your knife wound
And I forgive you is not an option, it's too uncomfortable
It's much easier to be miserable then vulnerable
You can save that for the weak and the religious
There is no justice or no peace
There is only forgiveness
