[Verse]
            
All things fad

            
e into dark gr

            
een water down

   
 by the lake
            
Mistakes were 

            
made and that'

            
s the heart of

       
 this pain
          
But I'll rejoi

    
ce, I won't gi

ve €…anything
            
But forgivenes

            
s once you hav

      
e the courage 

to explain

              
I learned this

            
 phrase from m

 
y father
              
He said "no pe

            
rfection can e

               
ver bring joy"
              
Or, "there's n

        
one without it

"
          
Like a life th

            
at has a start

        
 but no end

            
All aspiring c

           
omes with equa

           
l consequence,

            
 like some thi

            
ngs we abuse a

            
nd the joys th

    
ey prevent
            
And I'll numb 

          
or stall all f

              
all and preten

            
d that dark wa

         
ter will cloak

 all our deepe

st intent

              
I said, you go

            
t this heart f

            
rom your Mothe

r
              
She bears all 

            
our suffering 

             
through the lo

             
ngest of years

            
, too long lat


ely,
          
Like a life th

            
at has a start

        
 but no end


I fear flawless life in a pure sense. Hold on best I can to a place where:

            
All things fad

            
e into dark gr

            
een water down

          
 by the lake
            
Mistakes were 

            
made and that'

            
s the heart of

        
 this pain
         
But I'll refle

I won't ask an

              
ything but for
