How

I had wondered what was done to you To give you such a taste of flesh I guess, for years, I just carried on Didn't feel much of a choice to suppress I hope your memory is less vivid than mine And is free from that awful maple light I have to say, I still wish you had just done it in the dark So the pictures didn't burn so bright But I forgive you now Release you from all of the blame I know how And I'll forgive you now As if saying the words will help me know how Please help me know how I'm afraid it will take a time I make my case to the Shahanshah as I bring him his cup And I'll tell him the best I can what I need To build the walls of my Jerusalem back up And I have reckoned with what you've taken from me And I killed that liar in my head I buried him beneath the maple tree There's no joy in dancin' with the dead But I'll forgive you now Release you from all of the blame I know how And I'll forgive you know As if sayin' the words will help me know how How How
