Guilty Conscience
070 Shake Lyrics

My mind won't let me rest
My thoughts are disturbing me and I am unable to relax

Voice in my head
There is an inner voice speaking to me

I hear what it said
I am able to understand what the voice is saying

I can't trust a thing
I am unable to trust anything, even my own thoughts

If I picked up and left
If I were to leave this situation behind

How fast did you forget?
How quickly did you forget about what happened?

Resting while I'm inside your presence
Trying to relax while being around someone

I don't want to think nothing bad
I don't want to think anything negative

This time I won't
This time, I will not think anything bad

Five AM when I walked in
At five o'clock in the morning when I arrived

Could not believe what I saw, yeah
I was shocked by what I saw

You on another one's body
You were physically intimate with someone else

Ghosts of the past came to haunt me
Memories from the past came back to bother me

I caught you but you never caught me
I knew what you were doing, but you never found out about me

I was sitting here waiting on karma
I was hoping that justice would eventually be served

There goes my guilty conscience
My guilty conscience is now apparent

No, I won't let you stay
No, I am not allowing you to remain in my life

Thanks for the hours
Thank you for spending time with me

Thanks for the days
Thank you for the good times we had together

If I see your eyes
If I make eye contact with you

I turn to stone
I become emotionless and numb

I look away
I avert my gaze

I gotta go
I have to leave

Gone for the week, don't bother
I will be away for a week, so don't try to contact me

'Til pigs fly, shit, keep on calling
Even if it's impossible, you can keep trying to contact me

I've been working for me, not sorry
I have been focusing on myself and not feeling guilty about it

Next time that we speak, I'll be calm
The next time we talk, I will be composed

Next time that I go in, I'm all in
Next time I am involved in something, I will be fully committed

Why you so close but you feel so far?
Why do you seem close to me, but I feel distant from you?

You look like the moon in the morning
You seem beautiful and ethereal, like the moon in the morning sky

Jaded, faded, almost gone
Tired, worn out, and almost gone from my life

Goodnights are never really good nights, nights, nights
Saying goodnight is never really a pleasant experience

Feel something that's heavy inside
I feel an emotional weight within me
