Lyrics
Waking up, sweating and sobbing, not knowing who I am For a second or two Visited all through the night by the ghosts of my dead friends Or at least dead to me Vulnerability, death to humanity Rollin’ around in the tears dripping down from the loved ones that I’ve hurt And accountability, what does that really mean? When you have grown and you know all the things you did wrong We’ve gotta do better than putting in effort We’ve gotta unlearn all our faults 'Cause hate is exhausting when we could be fostering Nurturing love for each other 'Cause we get hurt to help others And we hurt others to get help We fail better the more we heal And we heal faster the more we fail My skull and the side of the janitor’s door are becoming close friends lately Because if I lose a tooth, does it count as abuse if the punches came from me? So I’ll do my best just to stay off of trestle It feels like there’s much more to be And if I’m an abuser, then I'm still a human first Or at least that’s what my higher self makes me believe When sorry starts sounding less like an apology And starts sounding more like a reflex Then we’ve got a lot of work left to do
