Forgiveness Songtext
von Tim Vantol

If guilt would be measured in weight,
I′d be laying at the bottom.
While my lungs are filled with water
In an ocean filled with bait.

If the reason would be written
In a book that's called the Bible,
Would I have been the sinner
′Cause I didn't take a note.

And if it works exactly as it's told,
Please tell them to wait longer.
That I′ll be on my way
As I cannot stand this cold.

And if you really wonder,
Why I no longer pray.
Cause if there′s something more,
It would've found its way.


If asking for forgiveness
Would free you of all of your sins.
If asking for forgiveness
Would be that easy.
If asking for forgiveness
Is the end of a new beginning.
I′d rather drown my sins
With another drink.

If you assume
There'll be a second chance.
The third one will be waiting,
While the fourth is on its way.
Let′s do the next one in advance.

So if you really wonder,
Why I no longer ask.
If there's more than this,
It′d be the first one to confess.

If asking for forgiveness
Would free you of all of your sins.
If asking for forgiveness
Would be that easy.
If asking for forgiveness
Is the end of a new beginning.
I'd rather drown my sins
With another drink.


So, drink.
So, here's to our failures, our missteps and our mistakes.
May we be brave enough to face all our deepest shames.
