You Can't Kill Us All

what more do you want from me?

some sort of apology?

well i promise that forgiveness is the most you'll get.

and what i demand of you is to put up or shut up.

so make your decision,

but remember-you can't kill us all.

i know you don't know what you say

but i don't feel any safer from you.

hate is too easy and we'll both find a way to be right.

no matter how far a stretch.

and even now i've all but forgotten what we're fighting for.

to end something or to begin it?

i don't even know why i care to continue.

old habits die hard i guess. but we don't.

and the threats are still made.

i'll kill you. even though turning away seems safer.

i want to be in the middle.

i want to go for the jugular. but i don't remember why.

was it to start something or to end it?

i know why i continue. i do it all for them.

for her i can be an influence and for them a backbone.

to end the old and begin a new age of compromise and clear thinking.
