You Can't Kill Us All

What more do you want from me?
Some sort of apology?
Well, I promise that forgiveness is the most you'll get
And what I demand of you is to put up or shut up

So make your decision
But remember, you can't kill us all
I know you don't know what you say
But I don't feel any safer from you

Hate is too easy and we'll both find a way to be right
No matter how far a stretch
And even now, I've all but forgotten what we're fighting for
To end something or to begin it?

I don't even know why I care to continue
Old habits die hard, I guess, but we don't
And the threats are still made
I'll kill you, even though turning away seems safer

I want to be in the middle
I want to go for the jugular, but I don't remember why
Was it to start something or to end it?
I know why I continue, I do it all for them

For her, I can be an influence
And for them, a backbone
To end the old and begin a new age
Of compromise and clear thinking
