show me the evidence
owe me your soul
tell me you're human
sell me your goal

show me examples
owe me the truth
tell me no lies
sell me your youth

show me your struggles
owe me your faults
tell me no falsity
sell me your salt

show me the reasons that I should be merciful
owe me the half-hearted pleas
tell me you'll never ever fail me again
sell me your best apologies
