Analysis of Guilty Conscious
I can't recall,
My guilty conscious...
Coming into play.
No matter what it say,
I did it my way
I see the agony on peoples faces.
The ones I loved, no not to make purchases!
My love is free and it roams freely,
On this enchanted, coast.
Where I avoid things, and take another dose.
My eyes are close. Angels on my eyes!
I breathe the dust. That told me to hide
Everything that's good I hide.
I hurt the ones I love, but I feel I can't decide
Stuck in between, and lean towards things,
That made me feel someone has taken my pride.
I achieved nothing, by this guilty conscious I can't recall.
I can't choose sides, therefore I'm beaten by it all...
