Evolution of Me
Evolution of me
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I curse myself for the fool that I am
I'm sorry they said, so I forgave them
Time and time again
And each successive wound
Was followed by one deeper
And much more painful
One piece at a time
Killers of my spirit and joy
There's really no turning back
I look to the future pitying them
For what they cast aside
My strength won't allow me
To hate injustice or selective amnesia
It's really true, a drowning soul
Doesn't want to go alone
Too blind to see it's the only way
So now when they say
I love you
Knowing it means nothing
I smile anyway.
