Why are we so obsessed with an eye for an eye? A reason to be vindictive that’s justified Getting even disguised as seeking justice Apathy’s a result of failed due process Forced to accept these transgressions only imply There’s no regard for innocent lives What’s with all of this vengeance? It drives us all out of our minds Where’s the room for forgiveness When we’rе trying to survive? The only way to fight forward is with empathy Not consuming our hеarts with antipathy When will we learn that revenge is not the answer? (revenge is not the answer) How can we keep pretending we’re not the cancer? (pretending we’re not the cancer) What will it take to grow from all of the past mistakes And be free from animosity? What’s with all of this vengeance? It drives us all out of our minds Where’s the room for forgiveness? We’re just trying to survive In a world full of darkness Is anybody looking for the light Through the blinds of malevolence? Can we come to compromise? Can we take a moment to reflect Upon the logic behind This constant tug of war we pull? It feels like there’s no end in sight Can you swallow your pride And give us all a chance to thrive? The clock is ticking We’re running out of time What can we do about vengeance? How do we get it out of our minds? Make room for forgiveness We’re all trying to survive In a world filled with darkness Need to keep searching for the light And look past malevolence Hoping to come to compromise
