CONSCIENCE

Born with a sense of what’s right and wrong
Morality engraved like ink on my bones
A burning violin playing the back of my neck
Grapevine, Camellia growing up my chest
This new world is sending me in distress
And now I’m standing in a wedding dress
And I’m scared
I didn’t try to
(You hurt people)
I’d never lie to you
(You bruise people)
Maybe I would, but the truth is too hard
I can’t control my thoughts
But I wish I could
'Cause it’s tearing me apart
To see you like this girl
I know you my whole life
I know you inside out
Now it feels like I don’t know you at all
Conscience running all around me now
Dancing to the tango and it won’t slow down
Conscience running all around me now
Dancing to the tango and it won’t slow down
You’re a bad person
You’re ungrateful, you’re selfish and you’re weak
But you’re shy, darling
And you’re unique, hey
Spoiled and caring
You need to be better, better, better to everybody
You’re new to lovin'
And you’re so strange
I didn’t try to
(You hurt people)
I’d never lie to you
(You bruise people)
Maybe I would, but the truth is too hard
I can’t control my thoughts
But I wish I could
'Cause it’s tearing me apart
To see you like this girl
I know you my whole life
I know you inside out
Now it feels like I don’t know you at all
Conscience running all around me now
Dancing to the tango and it won’t slow down
Conscience running all around me now
Dancing to the tango and it won’t slow down
You hurt people
I don’t want to
But you hurt people
Who really care about you
And new people will come and go
But you’ll stay the same
