Lies will find you hiding behind

Your words so carefully chosen

Just as it was before

Elusive words

So hard to understand - can it be?

All is forgiven

You're suffering with your regrets

Unable to move on, your thoughts are ripped

Twist the knife for the sake of argument

Repent...forget

You're bathing in your remorse

Unable to breathe, on lies you choke

Twist the knife for the sake of lying

Repent...forget

Your guilt, it burns through you

It lives inside you through you

Your guilt, it cannot stop you

Repent...forget

It all ends where it starts

Apologies are near useless

Unable to care about the deeds done

Twist the knife for the sake of argument

Repent...forget

I'm sorry is not enough

Subtleties you leave unspoken

Twist the knife for the sake of trying

Repent...forget

Your guilt, it burns through you

It lives inside you through you

Your guilt, it cannot stop you

Repent...forget

Can I expect you to forgive?

Can I expect compassion?

Can I expect you to forget selfishness?

This self preservation

Repent for your actions

The self destruction

Is this the real you?

Your guilt, it burns through you

It lives inside you through you

Your guilt, it cannot stop you

Repent...forget

It ends where it starts
