Conscience (Consequence) Songtext
von Pentimento

And I′m making excuses
To justify my conclusions
And buy past convictions I swear I have
I'm not ashamed to admit my feelings
Until it comes down to someone who counts
Acting like I′m supposed to save the world
But I just want to seem real to other people
It's in the way that my brain tells my mouth to say something
Relevant to get a laugh and feel approved

I still imagine how often old dead trees show the wind
Just to prove they have the wind
Like how much we disregard ourselves
Just to treasure someone else


And I'm still speaking like it′s possible to change
But it′s not possible to wait
And as the days and nights continue
You can see it taking shape
It's nothing into nothing
Always running in place

I talked to all my friends about the quicksand that I′m in
As if it'd change the way I feel
So many autumns since then
And many others that have came and went

I′ll never look at anything that we once had
The same way again
I'll never look at anything that we once had
The same way again

The same way again
