Forgive me
Forgive me for saying these words, forgive me
For telling you I’m sorry
Forgive me for not knowing very much but knowing enough
That I can survive
Is that not what we all do?
Forgive me for for being scared, please forgive me
For only being human and not knowing what comes next and
Feeling pure terror pool inside my chest, please
Forgive me
I’m living a life that sometimes costs so much more than it should
And sometimes doesn’t seem like enough
I’m trying to walk the thin line that apparently exists in between those,
Conflicting sides that seem to have found a common ground
I’m not there, in case you care
I’m breathing air that has already expired, my head is spinning
Panic in the mornings as I try to figure out what to do
Can you hear my music, sad love songs that feed on the sound
Of human hearts beating
What are you doing right now, sitting in your fancy chairs at your
Glossy wooden desks, are you
Smiling as you count my money, the few thousand dollars
I’ve been saving up since I was 12, are you laughing
As it goes in your pockets towards that fancy new watch you’ve been wanting?
I am but a fragment of this shattered world, can you see
The glass that lies broken around your feet?
Why do you expect me to pick up all the pieces?
It’s not mine, not yet
Why do you look at me like I’m supposed to be a certain way?
Am I not your picture perfect person, is anyone?
Why do you expect me to be someone for you?
So now are you going to dismiss me because I don’t exist for your want?
Am I now just a pencil mark for you to erase, a name to scratch off your list?
There’s a witch burning down the street
Just in case you’re interested
We can be so overly isolated sometimes, hands shaking at human interactions
My generation is lawless, can’t you see that?
X marks the spot, watch us dance shoeless on the coals
Of a society that burned before us
Promises will be made, the effort of keeping them
Will be tucked away in our pockets, clinking against our phones
Don’t tell me you’re going to remember
Tell me instead,
That you’ll never forget
So forgive me for drowning my mind with music,
Forgive me for hiding, forgive me for hoping for something that will never be
Forgive me for being scared of not having a future,
Because you’re the one who screwed this world over
Forgive me for asking for your forgiveness
Because why am I the one saying sorry?
Forgive me for saying these words, forgive me
For telling you I’m sorry
Forgive me for not knowing very much but knowing enough
That I can survive
Is that not what we all do?
Forgive me for for being scared, please forgive me
For only being human and not knowing what comes next and
Feeling pure terror pool inside my chest, please
