Acrostichon — Guilt lyrics

[music & lyrics by jos]

Guilt is growing in my head
Building on a painful past
Distorting all i think and see
My mask is your reality

Innosense on it's own
Among the tempting forces
I'd so much like to fit in
But i'm a victim of society

[chorus]

Our depreciated world
One big chicken house
Filled with selfishness
Is growing worse
Hypnotized, then wide awake
I had to shift the blame to me
Then sliding into
A sickening pit of beastial pleasure

Performed my fear and fantasy
Forgot about reality
Acted compulsive, non-intentionally
Bear the truth deep in me

[chorus]

Unstoppable, on the first impulse
Desperate, the only way to forget
Immediate, relief, social isolation
Bitterness, the price of control

[repeat]

Now living with the burden
In my callous brain
Reliving this certain crime each day
My punishment is here to stay

[chorus]
