lyrics

The word, it had traveled far, you were in disbelief
He couldn't have meant no harm,
must have had a good reason...

...for it....
...he swears....
...you buy....
....no second.....
....thought of it.....

(vouches for him,
pushes me down,
fragile boy he just slipped up this once
raises him up,
gently pats head,
only strangers can commit such crimes)

The man he had set the bar, you'd expect nothing less,
If anyone shows the same,
they'll receive all your blessing
"What if it's true?" she asks, "I just cannot conceive"
"Please don't be alarmed" he says, "I'm still the same old me"

this does ....
...not change...
...a thing...
...i'm still....
...family...
he grins...
...you shrug...

what makes you think I would like to hear that name?
tyrant gets your blessing, now he gets free reign
should we all bend down and kiss his ugly feet?
take back the accusations, admit defeat?
"anyone in the man's shoes would do the same,
lower your guns there ain't no one here to blame
if I knew you before the news, it's okay
we all sin a bit at the end of the day"

the body it has been maimed, but we can just pretend that
it has remained the same, and no use fussing over it
lick all your wounds and pray that he has judged you kindly
dreadfully await the day where you come in and raid my...

...island,
our space to hide in,
inside my island,
our space to hide in,

we braved the storm, pushing through everything pouring down hard,
only to find that you hold the culprit in high regard
there ain't no peace, ain't no harmony like you so insist,
I called out wolf, but you told me such a thing don't exist

I don't give a damn if it's not what you want to hear,
you don't give a damn if I finish my sentences
