The Sins You'Ve Binned
You've accepted that it's part of you
You don't condone this part of you
You know one day fate will demand the price
For what you've done there's nowhere to hide
Your soul will strain in turmoil within
Your smiling face will only hide the internal war brewing
Guilt will pull you and draw you in
Your mind will echo the sins you've binned
Truth will fight you to come through
It wants you to admit these faults in you
But as you run away from you
There is no escape from what haunts you
You look in the mirror and there he is
The face that causes you not to live
Your nemesis, your enemy, your guilt in that stare
Behind the eyes in evil's lair
The ghost that will haunt your life all through
The ghost of your sins,
YOU.
