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
