Residue

Ignorance
Is all that's left, all that's left
Resilience
Should be what is left, what is left
A break through
These decisions can't be made without you
And these still framed minds
Only see in one direction
Tear down the walls 
Leave nothing behind
Just tear it all down
These pictures and paintings have already faded
And you want to start it all over
Reluctance
Is all that's left, all that's left
Readiness
Should be what is left, what is left
A sentence
Is carried out only if you're guilty
And these still framed minds
Only see in one direction
Residue on the walls
Leave nothing behind
Just tear it all down
