And the Grief Goes On...

Maybe in time we can see how the world began
 Breaking the arms of the patron Americans
 Lo and behold we're as saintly as we pretend
 Means is of no consequence, let's get to the end
 We're so silly and change our minds
 But nothing's really at stake but time
 Hey there's a gun in your face and it's serious
 If you don't know you can ask any idiot
 What do you know it seems we might end up content
 Not that we want
 We know we're not that innocent
 We're so silly and change our minds
 We're two steps back
 We'll leave us behind
 Learning from our own mistakes
 Takes longer than we care to
 It's a tough one to gauge
 You know we're not gonna change
 We'll never turn this around
 So treat it like it's a phase
 Some uncomfortable stage
 That we'll never face down
 And sweat out
 Because we barely know that we'd give enough to close to
 Whatever the committment that's required
 We are leaving plenty
 You suffer for the sake
 Hey we all make mistakes
 Even though not even sober
 Even if we start all over
 Carelessly
 In some strange way we're safe
 Not that far from
