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
