Sweetened possessive farce
Our saints become sparse
And its an option to be transparent
So in your soul that it’s inherent
Now that you’ve found your wings (you want to fly)
Now that I’ve done those things (you’ve said goodbye)
It would be ample if only you’d trample
What you could not choke in life
Choke, choke, choke, choke
Now that you’ve sold your soul
What was the human toll
And oh your sacrifice (your sacrifice)
And oh what my vice (you were)
And it would be ample if you’d only trample
What you could not choke in life
Choke, choke, choke, choke
I could be anyone
I could be anything except for you
Except for you
Anything except for you
No, it had to be a lie it didn’t rain twice
The clouds over my head but I’m not dead yet
I could be anyone
I could be anything except for you
Except for except for except for

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
–Ephesians 4:32 (ESV)–

Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
–Mark 11:25 (ESV)–

If you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
–Matthew 6:14-15 (ESV)–

Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.”
–Matthew 18:21-22 (ESV)–

Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
–Luke 6:37 (ESV)–

Do good to those who hate you.
–Luke 6:27 (ESV)–

The Lord said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”…I once had a dream…
–Genesis 31:3, 10 (NIV)–

“Here comes that dreamer!” they said to each other. “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns and say that a ferocious animal devoured him. Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.”
–Genesis 37:19-20 (NIV)–
