Forgive Them (For They Know Not What They Do)

The guy in the mansion who doesn't tip
The food in the market that makes us sick
The girl who cut me in line just like I don't exist
The man who fucked up my mind with his abusive tricks

Society for telling me who I can and cannot be
The people I've supported who never supported me
The ones who just have everything but never worked a day
Each time I feel this feeling, I know I have to say

Forgive them for they know not what they do
We may not like it, so we fight it, but it's a necessary truth
I'm frustrated and I hate it, can you please take it away?
I don't claim this, I don't blame them, get me out of this state
Everyone is just doing the best they can
And some of us just weren't dealt the greatest hand
Yeah, I pray that by the end of this life, I can let go of this hell
And by the end of this life, I'd have forgiven myself

Anxiety that follows me all into the night
The neighbors right on top of me who constantly fight
The person that cut me off
Even though we're at the same red light

The people on the internet spewing hurtful shit
I'm a human with emotions, yeah, those things, they still exist
But each time I pass a judgment, well, I have to bite my lip
If I'll never be perfect, how can I be mad at them?

Forgive them for they know not what they do
We may not like it, so we fight it, but it's a necessary truth
I'm frustrated and I hate it, can you please take it away?
I don't claim this, I don't blame them, get me out of this state
Everyone is just doing the best they can
And some of us just weren't dealt the greatest hand
Yeah, I pray that by the end of this life, I can let go of this hell
And by the end of this life, I'd have forgiven

Driving down the freeway, just my thoughts among the silence
Know I'm made of love but in my head I'm choosing violence
Ready to give up the fight, end the need to know I'm right
Triggers are a blessing cause they point to what's inside us

Forgive them for they know not what they do
We may not like it, so we fight it, but it's a necessary truth
I'm frustrated and I hate it, can you please take it away?
I don't claim this, I don't blame them, get me out of this state
Everyone is just doing the best they can
And some of us just weren't dealt the greatest hand
So, I pray that by the end of this life, I can let go of this hell
And by the end of this life, I'd have forgiven myself
