Average Joey - Open Ended Apologies Lyrics



Average Joey - Open Ended Apologies Lyrics




I can't keep living like this
Holding a grudge against myself
I can't keep tightening a fist
I must reach my hand out

I want to empathize
If only it were that easy
I want to apologize
I hope the world can forgive me

For the dead, for the asleep
For the people clinging to a dream

For the numb for the aware
For the brave who are f*cking scared

For the strong and for the weak
For the lovers of this world I weep

For the artists who die or quit
Because their passion makes them sick

For the war and for the poor
For those we choose to ignore

For the veteran living on the street
And the hero he wanted to be

For assimilation to a vacant nation
For my submission to domination

For those who fear a sunny sky
Because liberation might strike any time

For the victim for the cop
Everyone who's just doing their job

For the bird locked in a cage
And the prisoners who keep someone paid

For the structures that wall us in
People who say "That's just the way it is"

For everyone doing what they think is right
But can't figure out what's wrong with their life

For the wish and the command
For the stifling invisible hand

For the cause that is called lost
The struggle thats a holocaust

For the money and time spent
To do evil and then repent

For the child that makes my clothes
For the goddamned CEO's

For the culture that consumes
And the hope of impending doom

For the glory and remorse
Those who see the forest for the resource

For the cattle and the slaughterhouse
For taking part it what we all renounce

For the people who can barely cope
With what some call a good joke

For the offensive undertones
Of a place that I call home

For the privilege I take for granted
And comments that are heavy handed

For the enlightened and the ignorant
Who see the simple and the complex

For heaven sent furious flame
The angels and the demons fighting in my brain

For the rise and for the fall
For the nothingness that created all

For all these songs, all this cheap talk
For all the bad things I have thought
