Songwriters: Thiessen, Matthew Arnold;Oh yes, I know this tension that you speak of  We're in the palm of a hand, making a fist  It'd be best for one of us to speak up  But we prefer to pretend it does not exist    And you can't see past the blood on my hands  To see that you've been aptly damned to fail and fail again    'Cause we're all guilty of the same things  We think the thoughts, whether or not we see them through  And I know that I have been forgiven  And I just hope you can forgive me too    So don't you dare blame me  For prying open the door  That's unleashed the bitterness  That's here in the midst of this  Sometimes we live for no one but ourselves    And what we've been striving for  Has turned into nothing more  Than bodies, limp on the floor  Victims of falling short  We kiss goodbye, the cheek of our true love    And you can't see past the blood on my hands  To see that you've been aptly damned to fail and fail again    'Cause we're all guilty of the same things  We think the thoughts, whether or not we see them through  And I know that I have been forgiven  And I just hope you can forgive me too, you can forgive me too    And you can't see past the blood on my hands  To see that you've been aptly damned to fail and fail again    'Cause we're all guilty of the same things  We think the thoughts, whether or not we see them through  And I know that I have been forgiven  And I just hope you can forgive me too    You can forgive me too, you can forgive me too  You can forgive me, can forgive me  Can forgive me, can forgive me too      © RED COATS ARE COMING; GOTEE MUSIC INC;    these lyrics are last corrected by OarSmaN
