Forgive? from Questions by Overdue Refrain

FORGIVE?

You could say we didn’t know what we were doing
You could say we didn’t know what we were thinking
The long road out of this
Leads from our doorway
And Into the abyss

You might know we didn’t care what we were doing.
You might care we didn’t know why we weren’t caring.
It’s the same thing every time
We did not know it
It’s the same thing every time
We could not show it

The taming of the dark
The sharpness of the edge
The saltness of the tears
The crying of the years

Will there be…
Will there be…
Be a time…
Be a time…
To ask…
Forgive?

You might know we didn’t care what we were doing.
You might know we didn’t care why we weren’t caring.
It’s the same thing every time
We always knew it
It’s the same thing every time
We could not show it

The stripping of the self
The fraying of the nerve
The sickness of the age
The builders of the cage
The story of the day
The witness on display
The falseness of the pure
The silence is assured

The weight upon the neck
The cruelness of the laugh
The spotlight of the truth
The things we didn’t do
The taming of the dark
The sharpness of the edge
The saltness of the tears
The crying of the years

Will there be (Will there be)
Will there be…
Will there be a time… (Be a time)
Be a time…
to ask…
Forgive?
