Conscience

Give me time to clear my conscience

So I can get some sleep tonight

I’ve been on the same old road

Running with no place to go

Too late

I’ve said too much

Set fire to everything I touch

Give me time to clear my conscience

Seems like

You’ve had enough

Pull back when I reach out too much

Give me time to clear my conscience

I feel the wear

With every stride

Every time I try to hide

The weight I bear with every stride

It’s not behind you

I feel aware

You’ve crossed my mind

In every place I try to hide

I feel aware, I’m stuck inside

I’m stuck inside

Too late

I’ve said too much

Set fire to everything I touch

Give me time to clear my conscience

Seems like

You’ve had enough

Pull back when I reach out too much

Give me time to clear my conscience

Dig up these memories from our grave

Just to see what lies below

And bury the remainder of my strength just to see if I can grow

If I can thaw the ice that fills my chest and mend my broken bones

I’ll learn lessons from all of my mistakes and reap what I have sown

It’s too late, and I’ve said too much

Set fire to everything I touch

Just give me time to clear my conscience

It’s too late

I’ve said too much

Set fire to everything I touch

Give me time to clear my conscience

Seems like

You’ve had enough

Pull back when I reach out too much

Give me time to clear my conscience
