Forgiving Ties

[Verse 1] Well, I got caught between boredom and anger A hammer came to the party to blind All of my confidence, it had a warrant Knocked on the door and split open my mind [Pre-Chorus] What are we doing? Who are these people? How did we let them get a word in edgewise? [Chorus] Well, I'm not looking for forgiving ties I'm just looking for a way to survive I and I No, I'm not looking for forgiving ties I'm just looking for a way to survive I and I For me, for you and then for them, too [Verse 2] Well, I got stuck in a state of reluctance My hand was bitten by the mouth that it fed I tried to slip back into the bathroom A thought approached me as my fingers bled [Pre-Chorus] Who are these people? How do they see me? Would they get up if I let them down now? [Chorus] I'm not looking for forgiving ties No, I'm just looking for a way to survive I and I No, I'm not looking for forgiving ties I'm just looking for a way to survive I and I For me, for you and then for them, too [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] If they survive every buried disorder And come to terms with a life on the ledge Well, I could be kind to myself in the mortar And take a moment with the hammer again [Pre-Chorus] Who are you fooling? You're just a turnstile I know the way and I can see myself down the line [Chorus] Well, I'm not looking for forgiving ties Oh, I'm just looking for a way to survive I and I Well, I'm not looking for forgiving ties Oh, I'm just looking for a way to survive I and I Well, I'm not looking for forgiving ties And I'm just looking for a way to survive I and I For me, for you and then for them, too
