Guilty

Press me on the pavement
Hide me in your shoe
Wear me on a broken neck
I’ll always come to you
Oh, taker, leave me whole
Don’t blame the thing you stole
Guilt is gradually bathing you in sorrow
You were told at five years old
That you deserved it all
Guilty urgency has made you strike a match
And throw the flame
Into the pyre
(Mmm)
And now, the delicate veil is fallin' down
No conscience in the world can clean you now
Forget, forgive, are gifts that you try to claim
But hidden in mercy, the gut feeling still remains
Guilty shivers
It’s the guilt that will guide you
Guilty shivers
It’s the guilt that will guide you
Guilty shivers
It’s the guilt that will guide you
To learn from your mistakes
Now, I can only speak with borrowed pride
I’ll never learn my worth until you’ve cried
Tears for the land
Tears for the endless names
Tears for the law
Tears for misguided blame
Guilty shivers
It’s the guilt that will guide you
Guilty shivers
It’s the guilt that will guide you
Guilty shivers
It’s the guilt that will guide you
To learn from your mistakes
