about

There's an f-word and a s-word in this song. In fact there's probably a few of each--but only one-each of the ones we've somehow decided are offensive.

lyrics

What did I expect?
Everything I've caused has an effect.
Guilt turns to regret
before the ashes can fall from a cigarette.
Forgiven before I beg it
before I even catch my breath.
Blood poured out for my sin?
You must be bleeding to death.

I'm laughing on the outside
and dying on the inside.
And I can't own up to anything
without losing all my fucking pride.
I'm lonely and I'm angry
and I'm looking for a friend.
And you stand there, arms nailed open.
I don't know where to begin...

Assured, but unconvinced.
Are you certain that I'm worth all of this?
Standing in my place
while I sit here, sinless, spitting in your face.
How am I to feel
when I know you got the shit end of the deal?
How am I to walk away?
And what exactly is it that you expect me to say?

Even now. Even still.
How am I to add to what I already had in guilt?
It's more than I can afford.
Good news, kid! Now your failures have killed The Lord.
All I hear you saying is that it's going to be okay.
I keep knocking you down and you keep rising from the grave.
I'm waiting for a tap upon my shoulder.
I'm waiting for the scars to heal over.
I'm begging you again to draw me closer.
And I'm furious that every time I find you bending lower
to reach me...

I am beyond repair.
I am beyond repair.
I am beyond repair.
You have broken me.

And I would not trade this for anything.
