You Can't Kill Us All

what more do you want from me?
some sort of apology?
well i promise that forgiveness is the most you'll get.
and what i demand of you is to put up or shut up.
so make your decision,
but remember-you can't kill us all.
i know you don't know what you say
but i don't feel any safer from you.
hate is too easy and we'll both find a way to be right.
no matter how far a stretch.
and even now i've all but forgotten what we're fighting for.
to end something or to begin it?
i don't even know why i care to continue.
old habits die hard i guess. but we don't.
and the threats are still made.
i'll kill you. even though turning away seems safer.
i want to be in the middle.
i want to go for the jugular. but i don't remember why.
was it to start something or to end it?
i know why i continue. i do it all for them.
for her i can be an influence and for them a backbone.
to end the old and begin a new age of compromise and clear thinking.
