I don't want to be hostile
I don't want to be dismal
but I don't want to rot in an apathetic existance
either
see I want to believe you,
and I want to trust
and I want to have faith to put away the dagger
but you lie, cheat, and steal
and yet I tolerate you
veil of virtue hung to hide your method
while I smile and laugh and dance
and sing your praise and glory
shroud of virtue hung to mask your stigma
as I smile and laugh and dance
and sing your glory
while you
lie, cheat, and steal
how can I tolerate you?
Our guilt, our blame
I've been far too sympathetic
our blood, our fault
I've been far too sympathetic
I am not innocent
You are not innocent
No one is innocent
I will no longer tolerate you
even if I must go down beside you
Because you're not innocent
