Kindness Kills
All the mistakes that were made
In the name of amiability
All crucial battles postponed
Just to maintain this fragile peace
Days drift by like dry wood
Nights muffled by loving arms around me
Now this is who I am
All the mistakes that were made
In the name of amiability
All the words unspoken
Only to add to the void we float in
Stand up then sit back down
Move on then turn around silently
Now this is who I am
But the pain in the chest
The undying restlessness
An arrow that seeks to roam
Fever that burns the bones
I shall not keep up with
The steady pace at which
I went from being priority to hobby
The tiny hole that fits
The emptiness you once hid
I will stand up to stand
Move on to be a man
I will come close to you
Pull myself up to you
Then I will smother you
In kindness and gratitude
All the mistakes that were made
In the name of amiability
All the roads paved
Where there should only be wide open fields
Now let's lay this burden down
Fight for the fragile peace we've found
'Cause this is who I am
