Conscience

Conscience Lub dub lub dub Do you hear that? That is the sound of your heart beating That and me is all that you should hear You’ve never cried this much since you were kid You’ve never felt this much since you were a kid You’ve always thought you were brave, though, strong A lioness capable of bring anything down that hinders But now you’re at your most vulnerable An open wound is your heart You want the earth to tear apart The soil to eat you whole This is your only salvation from her judging eyes But it will never happen Life doesn’t work that way Look at me This is you Without you mask of emotions Without all your façade Bare and stripped An exhibit of all your secrets, lies and all your demons Guilty, ashamed, disgusted Are you not? Can you bear to see your parents weep of what you’ve become? All their sweat of hard work, Tears of heartbreak Wasted on the rubbish that you are Your tears are nothing now But there’s still time You still have this chance There is only one thing left for you to do Change Lub dub lub dub Do you hear that? That is the sound of your heart beating That and me, your conscience, is all you heard.
