Intolerance

Intolerance – Tool

I don't want to be hostile

I don't want to be dismal

But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existence either

See

I want to believe you

And I want to trust

And I want to have faith to put away the dagger

But you lie cheat and steal

And yet

I tolerate you

Veil of virtue hung to hide your method

While I smile and laugh and dance

And sing your praise and glory

Shroud of virtue hung to mask your stigma

As I smile and laugh and dance

And sing your glory

While you

Lie cheat and steal

How can I tolerate you

Our guilt our blame

I've been far too sympathetic

Our blood our fault

I've been far too sympathetic

I am not innocent

You are not innocent

No one is innocent
