intolerance
a bird in the undertow I don't want to be
hostile.
I don't want to be
dismal.
But I don't want to
rot in
an apathetic existance .

See
I want to believe you,
and I wanted to trust you
and I want to have faith to
put away the dagger.

But you
lie, cheat, and steal.
you lie
cheat and steal
you lie
cheat and steal
And yet
I tolerate you.

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.
you
lie, cheat, and steal
you
lie, cheat, and steal
How can I tolerate you.

Our guilt,our blame ,
I've been far too sympathetic.
Our blood, our fault.
I've been far too sympathetic.

I am not innocent.
You are not innocent.
No-one is innocent.

you
lie, cheat, and steal
you
lie, cheat, and steal
you
lie, cheat, and steal
how can i tolerate you?

I will
not tolerate you
Even if
I must go down beside you.
Because,
No-one is innocent.
