Our Apologies

(album: The Righteous & The Butterfly - 2014)

"[?]...get some more beer. I think it's a recess."

How many ways can we say our apology
God bless
Confess
And rejoice in acknowledging
The definition of truth
Hard to prove
Often lost rarely used
With sincerity
No use rejuvenating a lie
You know we mean what we say

Retribution
The payback
The vengeance
Absolution
Remission of sin
Blasphemy
All the shit that you say to me
Tell me is this how your confession begins

I'll take the fall
Fall for humanity
Why care at all
Everything's washed
Pretending you're something you're not is the worst of all
No use calculating the cost
You know we mean what we say

How many ways can we say our apology
God bless
Confess
And rejoice in acknowledging
The definition of truth
Hard to prove
Often lost rarely used
With sincerity
No use rejuvenating a lie
You know we mean what we say

Retribution
The payback
The vengeance
Absolution
Remission of sin
Blasphemy
All the shit that you say to me
Tell me is this how your confession begins

I'll take the fall
Fall for humanity
Why care at all
Everything's washed
Pretending you're something you're not is the worst of all
No use calculating the cost
You know we mean what we say

Fall back
Bite your motherfucking tongue
Don't talk back
I'm tired of hearing your mouth run
We made our declaration
A nation under one
Let God be the judge and the jury be his son

Fall back
Bite your motherfucking tongue
Don't talk back
I'm tired of hearing your mouth run
We made our declaration
A nation under one
Let God be the judge and the jury be his son

How many ways can we say our apology?
God bless
Confess
And rejoice in acknowledging

The definition of truth
Hard to prove
Often lost
Rarely used
With sincerity

No use rejuvenating a lie
You know we mean what we say

Tell me, is this how your confession begins?
