Nothing To Forgive

Didn't ask to see the light of day We were born without a say Trying to find your place in all of this But some lose their way They say the truth will set you free But it shackled me like chains What you do to others willingly You repay with love or pain Did you come for absolution? I have got none left to give You must find your own solution Find a reason to forgive You came looking for atonement You came looking where I live I can see right through your intent I have nothing to forgive We all battle with our demons God knows I battled mine Some trust the law to guide them Some trust in the divine I am neither, I have never been I have only been myself My advice is simply gaze within Look at others, see yourself Did you come for absolution? I have got none left to give You must find your own solution Find a reason to forgive You came looking for atonement You came looking where I live I can see right through your intent I have nothing to forgive I can see the weight you carry It's the fear that burdens you Passing by a life to cherish You believe the lies they spew You were pure once, you were stainless You had promise, just like me They sustain your deepest bitterness It's yourself you cannot flee Did you come for absolution? I have got none left to give You must find your own solution Find a reason to forgive You came looking for atonement You came looking where I live I can see right through your intent I have nothing to forgive
