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.
