Forgiveness is a medicine of the poisonous sort
The supposed loving but really coarse retort
It runs through your veins like oxygen, a supposed life
saver that in the wrong place kills
Then your heart stills
And you’re on your knees begging
Hoping for the best when you don’t even know if this dagger
will ever rest,
And every little word you are regretting
Spend your nights lying awake and fretting
Life is a reminder of the deep cutting pain
Despite what Darwin said the weak still remain
Look at all the damn shame and the anger
But maybe someday the passive aggressive undertones will
fade, or maybe they’ll just break her
You and me
A freaking poisonous sea
I guess that was another promise I just couldn’t keep
Gosh darn it all maybe that’s why I don’t sleep
I can only hold this green screen up for so long before you
see
The manipulation of exaggerations and fabrications that
consumes me
And someday soon someone will
Come along and encourage you to spill
Your precious soul
But you just can’t afford to pay his toll
So take one for the money and run for the hills
As it turns out, forgiveness it kills
You read like a book but you’re on the wrong line
Suck it up and say it, take your sweet time or take mine
Shine your piteous looks on the stone cold floor
Quite frankly my dear this ordeal is a bore
So please make it worse and all about you
But maybe save the drama for your mama because you know
what? I’m through.
