[Intro - Suspenseful] accountability is lost when rationale is tossed out to the wind and motives embossed IN RECOLLECTION [Breakdown - Screamed vocals] FORGIVE ME FOR I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I DO FORGIVE ME DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU [Hook] can you forgive yourself can you retain your health can you escape the blame can you reframe the game can you be accountable can you see around the whole picture and the uncomfortable realizations that are bountiful [Verse 1] the topic of the day is: forgiveness, so forgive this if it seems more senseless but this is the insight within this endless commencement, hence it's what's left since the hints dispensed themselves in immense distribution and recompense responsibility, accountability, are they the same? are you causally connected in some sane semblance of some perspective gained and does that entail culpability in twain? the structure as I see it seems simple enough , no demeaning responsibility is understanding that your actions were a causal fact in the chain of events that came to be leading to some state of affairs, see? accountability to me is then the next step of being made or willing to not reject your intent and motives and impress some answering for what thus was set then we ask, what of the game of blame? at least of self, though it's all the same the maintenance of an accountable frame when responsibility was not maintained as a causal link in the chain or when you've already answered and remain demanding further answers from your brain disallowing peace in favor of shame [Extended Breakdown - Guttural vocals] FORGIVE ME FOR I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I DO FORGIVE ME DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU [Gang Shouts] DO UNTO YOU! DO UNTO YOU! WHAT I DO, I DO UNTO YOU! [Hook] can you forgive yourself can you retain your health can you escape the blame can you reframe the game can you be accountable can you see around the whole picture and the uncomfortable realizations that are bountiful [Verse 2] now let me take a moment to explain that responsibility can attain more of a definitional weight and frame entailing the moral and ethical game that was brought into existence when the actions wrought persistence responsibility isn't merely just the plain ol aforementioned link of causal chains taking responsibility for one's actions doesn't simply mean just knowing they happened and that they kicked the dead horse with passion but rather often that is merely a fraction of the available conceptual space present when understanding the meaning inherent a knight errant on a mission from his king is engaging in the whole responsibility thing not just because he was asked and agreed but because chivalry is a need that must be fulfilled to maintain the creed agreed upon when he his post was decreed to do otherwise would constitute the most heinous act of desertion of post but this all is getting into the anthropology of the indefinite human anthology still being writ large upon the cosmic ontology when this should be more on epistemology [Hook] can you forgive yourself can you retain your health can you escape the blame can you reframe the game can you be accountable can you see around the whole picture and the uncomfortable realizations that are bountiful [Gang Shouts] CAN YOU, CAN YOU? CAN YOU, CAN YOU? CAN YOU CAN YOU NOT!!! [Drop] how long can I play the blame game today how many different ways can I ignore a more peaceable play how strong is my will to stay with the ill what values have I instilled what container is left to fill? [Extended Breakdown - Guttural vocals] FORGIVE ME FOR I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I DO FORGIVE ME DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU [Gang Shouts] DO UNTO YOU! DO UNTO YOU! WHAT I DO, I DO UNTO YOU!
