Guilt wanted a moment of my time
I asked, "Guilt, what could I possible do for you?"
Guilt said "I've touched many. The good, the bad, the ones you think
Would be impervious to my persuasions,
And I've reduced them to mere shell of themselves
I take the very strong, the heroic, the weak and the despicable alike
I invade their every thought and movement
Their marriages fail, they become depressed, despondent
Some of them are unable to hold on
But most come out better"
I asked, "How could that be?
How could anyone become better by
Having been put through so much pain?"
Guilt said, "I make them see themselves for what they are"
I asked, "What's the point?"
Guilt said, "That's the problem I'm having,
I've come to hate myself, I hate what I do. I feel awful"
"So, you're feeling the wrath of guilt?", I asked
Guilt looked at the ground and nodded
Guilt then looked up and said,
"I can't get to you, I've tried and tried. Nothing seems to work"
"What do you think that is?", I asked
Guilt answered, "Because you're a monster"
I said "It took you this long to figure that out?"
She used to tell me stories of bridges over waters
And when I finally arrive
I begin to fall asleep
Drown myself in petty prayers
San Francisco lost its charm
Oh, I don't believe in God anymore, oh
The gentle park is laying on the belly of New England
And when I finally decide (I never loved you honey)
I begin to fall asleep (You never loved me, honey)
Drown your mind with better prayers (I
Never loved you honey, you never loved me, honey)
Barcelona lost its charm
Oh, I don't believe in God anymore (I never
Loved you honey, you never loved me, honey)
You breathe me in
I push you out
The gold chair ate the fire man
The gold chair ate the fire man
Hair all around the bond (I never
Loved you honey, you never loved me, honey)
What have you done (I never loved you honey)
Gold chair around a suit (You never loved me, honey)
What have you done (I never loved
You honey, you never loved me, honey)
You breathe me in
I push you out
The gold chair ate the fire man
The gold chair ate the fire man
Spider eyes
Are wide awake
Waiting for
A grace to fall
Injuries are slashed open
Waiting for my mind
Injuries are slashed open
Waiting for my time
Heat waves
Complicating
Headaches
You bit me it doesn't
Breathe me in
I push you out
The gold chair ate the fire man
The gold chair ate the fire man
You breathe me in
I push you out
