“Forgiven” Song Lyrics

From the album, Five Score and Seven Years Ago, by Relient K

Oh yes, I know this tension that you speak of
We're in the palm of a hand making a fist
It'd be best for one of us to speak up
But we prefer to pretend it does not exist

And you can't see past the blood on my hands
To see that you've been aptly damned
To fail and fail again

Cause we're all guilty of the same things
We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through
And I know that I have been forgiven
And I just hope you can forgive me too

So don't you dare blame me for
Prying open the door
That's unleashed the bitterness
Thats here in the midst of this
Sometimes we live for no one but ourselves

And what we've been striving for
Has turned into nothing more
Than bodies limp on the floor
Victims of falling short
We kiss goodbye the cheek of our true love

Relient K With Five Score And Seven Years Ago – Relient K’s fifth album in seven years and the follow up to 2004’s mmhmm, the band’s third consecutive Gold album – some are bound to ask, has the pop-punk band, ahem, matured a bit? Well, yes – sort of. While the new album isn’t chockfull of their characteristic puns and concludes with an 11-minute, 115-track tour de force entitled “Deathbed,” rest assured, Relient K has not lost its quirky sense of humor.
