lyrics

I had a dream I made best friends with my enemy
Laughing for the first time in years once again
Our shared lover was dead, we both cleared our heads
singing, “Brother, I forgive you for your sins.”

And I’ve already told you all how I’m sorry
I just made such a damned fool out of me
I don’t think I really loved you, but I had too much work to do
You were never the ends but the means

I could have sworn I didn’t need anything
But as it turns out, there wasn’t much that we thought about
I could’ve tried to evolve and actually value my friends
Instead of feeling so sorry and merely crawling around
I feel it starting again

Well I pray that I do better than my father
And I hope my children will be nothing like me
Because worse always comes to worse, and we get what we deserve
So I hope you all learn earlier than me

I shouted for years and now
The conversation’s over

I could have sworn I didn’t need anything
But as it turns out, there was too much that we fought about
I could’ve acted evolved and actually valued my friends
Instead of feeling so sorry and always lying around
I’ll never do it again
