lyrics

I’m not a memory of bad times
And I’m not the empty chair at the feast.
I’m not your enemy
Unless you decide I am,
I’m too busy trying to make that leap
Into the great unknown
I’m learning to call peace.

If you use other people’s words as weapons
Then you’re not as smart as you believe.
There’s never an enemy
Until you decide to start
Conflating pain with cruelty.
Whatever you’re going through
Don’t take it out on me.

We’ve all got troubles of our own
But that don’t mean
We have to pick over the bones
Of a carrion friendship,
Rotting by the road.

I’m not a memory of bad times
And I’m not the empty chair at the feast.
I’m not your enemy
Unless you decide I am,
I’m too busy trying to make that leap
Into the great unknown
I’m learning to call peace.
