I've made an exception
An exception of bloodshed
Bloodshed marking territory
Territory that isn't yours
I've made an exception
And you've let it spill
Clean yourself and come to dinner
You have another mess to make
I've made an exception
Sentimental towards the way
You lie
The best part of my day
I've made an exception
But who am I to do so?
Where's my power and authority
If I can't differentiate one from another
I've made an exception
But your terms exceed my conditions
And with every branch
My tears bleed through their growth
I've made an exception
But I've lost myself doing so
Selective patience
With those who come short of being you
I've made some exception
And adjusted to your judgement
From loud to silent
Transitioning to the library
I've made some exception
And you've used them to some extent
As you silently beg from embarrassment
Because I no longer make exceptions
