Lyrics
Intolerance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't wanna be hostile
I don't wanna be dismal
And I don't wanna rot in an apathetic existence
See I want to believe you
And I wanted to trust you
And I wanna have faith to put away the dagger
But you lie, cheat, and steal
You lie, cheat, and steal
And I tolerate you
You lie, cheat, and steal
How can I tolerate?
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
Lie, cheat, and steal
How can I tolerate you?
You lie, cheat, and steal
How can I tolerate?
Our guilt, our blame
I've been far too sympathetic
Our blood, our fault
I've been far too sympathetic
I am not innocent
I am not innocent
You are not innocent
No one is innocent
You lie, cheat, and steal
How can I tolerate?!
I will not tolerate you
I will go down beside you
I must go down beside you
No one is innocent
