We Drag the Dead on Leashes Songtext
von Being as an Ocean

We′ve all done things that we're ashamed of
We think they make us unworthy of love
We carry regret in our demeanors, wear it all over our faces
In our smallest actions; our greatest fears

Daring all who would come near to break the tension
To incidentally mention the demons you′ve been battling
Regret and shame leaking through every expression
Unable to forgive ourselves for things we could have stopped from happening

And it seems we've been thrown into an endless cycle
Of pain and suffering
But if we learn to let go
We don't have to play out this tragedy


Forgive the things you hate in yourself
So that you might be grace to someone else (Someone else)

We′ve turned to others, searching for some kind of safety
Only to get caught in someone else′s insecurities
Realizing our own humanity we accept shortcomings
Simply natural side effects; fallible being

Forgive the things that you hate in yourself
So that you might be grace to someone else
And in the end, find that it's you who has been freed, who has been freed

Forgive the things you hate in yourself
So that you might be grace to someone else (Someone else)
Forgive the things you hate in yourself
So that you might be grace to someone else (Someone else)
