I don't want to be hostile
I don't want to be dismal
But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existence either
See, I want to believe you
and I want to trust
and I want to have faith to put away the dagger

But 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
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
