On My Conscience
19th August, 2013
It’s on my conscience, I’m conscious of that now
Yes, I meant to hurt you but you deserved it anyhow
I had to suffocate the words but they just poured out of my mouth
I know you’ve got your problems, your demons and your drives
And perhaps for you to solve them you covet other people’s lives
It’s on my conscience but I’m sure that I’ll survive
I’m gonna ride you like you rode my friend
I’m gonna ride you to hell and back again
So I’ll have it on my conscience until the end of time
But whenever you think of me you’ll wonder whether I was lying
Well, I don’t really care, just so long as you are crying
I feel like I’ve spent the last 20yrs with you and your lyrics rolling around in my head. Somewhere between you and Switchfoot, I find redemption and freedom.
My husband has decided that life will be happier if he’s not married. I have good days and bad days and today I’m pondering how to take the bite out of the bad days. I reached out for you and found this new album and here are the words that I find in my lowest moments. Of course you wrote them and made them into a fantastic song. Of course.
Singing about the frustration and anger takes the sting out of it.
You have no idea how thankful I am. Just, yeah, thank you!
