Guilt

and guilt runs through
'til it gets to the other side
once it stays, you can no longer hide
the stories remain, and will in time
can't stop it now, it's too late
and i feel guilty
and you should
when the nails ram through
and the weat builds up
there is no time
to try and give up
you threw it all away
into another life time
bent and broken and guilty inside
crying out to the pain next door
no one there to answer in time
and it's too late to fix it
to fix anything at all
because i feel guilty inside...
and you should
