If love forgives why can't I be forgiven?
Why can't we put the past behind us
And keep on living
When we were happy?
If this shallow heart keeps beating
I don't know if I can take the pain
Of the broken pieces
Destroying me from the inside.
If we are creatures of sin
Why can't mine be forgiven?
Why can't we let go of the past
And just move on?
If these dried lungs continue to breath
Will this fouled up air poison me
And slowly kill me?
Or will I live with a stained body?
If we are to exist in the past
Why is there a future
Or even a present?
Can't we let it go?
If these empty sockets continue to see
Will the light ever reach my heart?
Or will the darkness finally consume me
And leave me to rot alone?
If we are to love
Why can't we be free?
Will this torment of my own mind
Ever cease to end?
If these deaf ears continue to hear
Will I forever hear your voice
Or will it slowly fade?
Will I be left without any recollection?
If we are to live
Why can't we show ourselves
Without fear and persecution?
Will we ever really be free?
If these motionless hands continue to feel
Will I be able to remember your soft skin under my hand
Or will it turn to sandpaper shark skin?
Will I be able to remember those gentle caresses?
Will I be able to remember the taste of your warm lips?
Or will it be replaced with the soured taste of loss?
Will I be able to remember that sweet fragrance
Or will it be swallowed up by the smell of death?
Emotions intertwined with life.
Life intertwined with death.
Emotions intertwined with death.
The never ending cycle of the unforgiven.
