Still

Alanis Morissette · The Collection [2005]

I am the harm which you inflict

I am your brilliance and frustration

I'm the nuclear bombs if they're to hit

I am your immaturity and your indignance

I am your misfits and your praised

I am your doubt and your conviction

I am your charity and your rape

I am your grasping and expectation



I see you averting your glances

I see you cheering on the war

I see you ignoring your children



And I love you still

And I love you still



I am your joy and your regret

I am your fury and your elation

I am your yearning and your sweat

I am your faithless and your religion



I see you altering history

I see you abusing the land

I see you and your selective amnesia



And I love you still

And I love you still



I am your tragedy and your fortune

I am your crisis and delight

I am your profits and your prophets

I am your art, I am your bytes

I am your death and your decisions

I am your passion and your plights

I am your sickness and convalescence

I am your weapons and your light



I see you holding your grudges

I see you gunning them down

I see you silencing your sisters



And I love you still

And I love you -



I see you lie to your country

I see you forcing them out

I see you blaming each other



And I love you still

And I love you still.
