When the Clock Strikes - Redemption Lyrics

We all know what it's like
To be in fear, to be in pain
But in yours you did unspeakable things
And as my heart gets past the shock
It's filling up with such disdain
But honestly my apathy was just as much to blame

Now you have to atone for all the lives you chose to take
And I must bear the weight of all the ones I couldn't save

This is how we'll always be
Me and all my enemies
Trapped in our imperfect skin
Until redemption
This is how we'll always be
Me and all my enemies
Trapped in our imperfect skin
Until redemption

When we catch you in a lie
The rest of us feel justified
And it's never hard for me to say you're wrong
It's easier to focus on
Your flaws instead of mine
But I know that I'll screw up again
No matter how I try

Now you have to atone for all the lives you chose to take
And I must bear the weight of all the ones I couldn't save

And this is how we'll always be
Me and all my enemies
Trapped in this imperfect skin
Until redemption
This is how I've always been
I fall and then get up again
And long for the cycle to end

But I have hope
I'm keeping it inside
This broken heart
This broken world
Our broken promises aside
I found my second chance
So maybe I can help somebody else to do the same
Oh you could do the same
Oh you could do the same

This is how we'll always be
Me and all my enemies
Trapped in this imperfect skin
And this is how we'll always be
All my friends, and you and me
We're waiting for redemption
