It's a complicated state (state)
How the waves break
Sometimes they're kind (kind)
Sometimes they take lives
Often in living hell (hell)
A giver's life dwells
I watched this state (state)
Crack and break
So lead me down to the dusty garden
Oh, overgrown and aged and rotten
And here they lie, children forsaken
And I see myself as one among them
Shields there never were (were)
I love you more than words
But now we're in this state (state)
And it cracks and breaks
For it lives, it lives inside my skin
And sometimes I feel I'll never win
And often I feel I'll never win
Someday I'll forgive
Someday I'll forgive
Someday I'll forgive
Someday I'll forgive
