I had wondered what was done to you,
To give you such a taste for flesh.
I guess for years I just carried on,
Didn't feel much of a choice to
suppress.
I hope your memory is less vivid than
mine,
And is free from that awful maple light!
I have to say I still wish you had just
done it in the dark,
So the pictures didn't burn so bright.
But I'll forgive you now,
Release you from all of the blame I
know how.
And I'll forgive you now, as if saying
those words will help me know how.
Please help me know how!

I'm afraid it will take a time,
I make my case to the Shia and Shia's
out bringing his cup!
And I'll tell the best that I can, what I
need to build the walls of my Jerusalem back up!
And I have reckoned with what you've
taken from me,
And I killed that liar in my head!
I buried him beneath the maple tree,
There's no joy in dancing with the
dead!
But I'll forgive you now,
Release you from all of the blame I
know how.
And I'll forgive you now,
As if saying the words will help me
know how!
How.....
How....
