I’ll Continue To Excuse You
Suzanne Mondoux · 4 September 2020
I sailed ashore with the wind in my sail With salt on my lips Welcomed by the towering cliffs So kind they were, their mighty stance Taking me from the wasteland from which I escaped
I’ll continue to excuse you for what you left behind For sending me overseas beneath dark murky skies With little air to breath With little sun to see
That feeble mind of yours weak with fear of imagination Should you think to see what comes beyond you While we crawled through the apocalyptic storm created in your wake We gaze at hollow lands and empty seas I’ll continue to excuse you for what you left behind
Then the Gods can turn their gaze upon you You can look us in our futuristic eyes What wretched doom been struck for all to see I’ll continue to excuse you for what you left behind Blind folded you were to see what you didn’t want to see What you knew and stared away so well
I’ll continue to excuse you for the sake of my humanity For my heart that still yearns to stir in the world you left behind The mothers and fathers of your future lie and grieve in their graves We are ships with no oars It’s the wind in our sails that drifts us apart from what you saw and what we see What we live in the world you left behind for me to see
I’ll continue to excuse you for the beat in my heart Beats for me, beats for you, and those who I’ll leave this world For my humanity, their imagination I’ll continue to excuse you with eyes wide open of what will come tomorrow
