Olive Branch

You never tried to understand me

You just told me I was wrong

That's why I had to write myself these songs

Now I've sung things I'd never say

And pressed them to wax

I guess that means you get another chance

I've been dancing in the ashes of hope

Grateful for the strength to give up

So this is an olive branch

But it's also a bridge

For you

To burn

If you listen, get all angry

Say the same drunk bullshit

Then I won't have to look in the mirror

If you listen, and you hear me

Then I don't know what's next

And the truth is that that's what I fear

I've been dancing in the ashes of hope

Grateful for the strength to give up

So this is an olive branch

But it's also a bridge

For you

To burn
