Bad Books - I Love You, I’m Sorry, Please Help Me, Thank You lyrics

"I Love You, I'm Sorry, Please Help Me
Thanks" some bumper sticker wisdom while
You're walking the plank
"I Love You, I'm Sorry, Please Help Me
Thanks" the illusion of protection in the
Face of a tank you were a student
You were a soldier you were a symbol
They made you a martyr

"I Love You, I'm Sorry, Please Help Me
Thank You"
When the nationalist demagogues eat
The desperately confused
"I Love You, I'm Sorry, Please Help Me
Thank You" we're so far past civility it
Feels useless to argue love isn't passive
A trick or a tactic it's radical action
So, go let 'em have it

When I opened my perspective from
My fear of the world
For the daughter I was trying to raise
With the total sum of everything
Asleep in my lap
I could hear I was the one in my way
You said life is sweet
But my brain's got teeth

"I Love You, I'm Sorry, Please Help Me
Thank You" you said, "Acceptance and
Forgiveness", I said, "Nobody asked you"
"I Love You, I'm Sorry
Please Help Me Now"
I have to drop it sometime
But I hate that I have to
Oh, but it saved me oh, but it changed me
Shaped and remade me oh, what it gave me

I was burned out on obsessing at
The end of the world
And the daughter I was helping to raise
With the total sum of everything
Awake in my lap
I could hear what you were trying to say
You said life is sweet
But my brain's got teeth

You said life is sweet
But my brain's got teeth
You said life is sweet if I let it be

"I Love You, I'm Sorry, Please Help Me
Thanks"
"I Love You, I'm Sorry, Please Help Me
Thanks"
"I Love You, I'm Sorry, Please Help Me
Thanks"
"I Love You, I'm Sorry, Please Help Me
Thanks"
