34. Guilt
Lyrics
GUILT
Final Revised 7-23-10

My guilty finger points
Straight up to my own face
I live these haunted dreams
There is no real escape

I wrap these feelings round
And carry them for free
Not really understanding
If I own them or they me

My battered inner child
now drunk and full of gin
Hoping to escape
this festival of sin

My sleepless whoring self
Now burned in effigy
Losing innocence
And the promise to be free

(chorus)
Not often do I sing
A song of guilt so true
But now that I can see
I'll sing this one for you
I'll drop it in your lap
And sit right on your knee
As long as you extract
These nightmares that i see

Racing past my dreams
With thunderous malcontent
Downloading wicked screams
Without evil intent

Barbed wire bed of nails
Beneath my bloody sheets
With pillows lost in vain
And yonder trellised treats

(chorus)
Not often do I sing
A song of guilt so true
But now that I can see
I'll sing this one for you
I'll drop it in your lap
And sit right on your knee
As long as you extract
These nightmares that I see

(bridge)
Rulers of morality
Tempting their mortality
A Sinners only friend
The one I will defend

(chorus)
Not often do I sing
A song of guilt so true
But now that I can see
I'll sing this one for you
I'll drop it in your lap
And sit right on your knee
As long as you extract
These nightmares that I see
