Forgive me, forgive me
If I seem alarmed
I had emotion in this moment
No harm's done

You see, I've read through a million
Words that I have wrote
And built up mountains from shrapnel
I've made my mind up, my mind up
Because the line drawn in the sand's wrong

And when all the pioneers are gone
And all that's left are unresolved
Out of step opinions
And you say the word and I will come
With overbearing clouds of war
Out of breath but not alone

Forgive me, forgive me
If I'm straightforward
I'm here to poison this process,
That is getting old

I always wind up
With botched-up, overcritical
The motive, motives
I've made my mind up, my mind up
And I could care less who's turned off

And when all the pioneers are gone
And all that's left are unresolved
Out of step opinions
And you say the word and I will come
With overbearing clouds of war
Out of breath but not alone

Could care less who's turned off

They always say how great
It is to leave us for it
You were not alone when
We have been stretched too thin

And when all the pioneers are gone
And all that's left are unresolved
Out of step opinions
It's like we're dead once more
But you say the word and I will come
With overbearing clouds of war
Out of breath but not alone
