The Lesson

How do you honour the lesson?

Were the words that are said don't ring true?

How do you honour the weakness

Was the pain that you feel isn't through?

Why do you lie in the darkness

When you won't even stand for some pain?

Why do you sit there and cut off them limbs

And say "patience is waiting in vain"

I didn't buy you that weapon

And I didn't write down your crime

You won't kill me with something better

You won't kill me with all your time

How did you forget the lesson?

Were the words that were said not ring true?

How did you forget the weakness?

When the pain that you feel isn't true

Why do you lie in the darkness?

When you won't even stand for some pain

Why do you sit there, "the whites of their eyes"

And say "patience is waiting in vain"?

I didn't buy you that weapon

And I didn't write down your crime

You won't kill me with something better

You won't kill me with all your time
