Endless Pulses
I pace in the hallways 'til 5:00am
What should I do now instead?
Tell me the father, tell me the mother
Just to forgive and forget
A shudder of fury, an axe at the ready
Swinging and ringing to shovel the neck
I want to believe, I want to forgive
I want to live and let live, but I can't
All of the women, stolen and shrouded
All of the boys who've been shot
Tell all their sisters, tell all their brothers
You're doing the best with what you've got
Who wants a vigilant, and who needs a vigil?
And where do you think those thoughts and prayers are sent?
I want to believe, I want to forgive
I want to live and let live, but I can't
Can't be a god, stone-faced in loving
And why would I want to be a man?
I want to believe, I want to forgive
I want to live and let live, but I can't
