The Guilty (Madman’s Version)

Another catch in my throat, another laughless sad joke A choir of sirens screams out to the guilty When did this song get so overplayed? I never thought that this pain could be passed on But I guess we all get wronged Sometimes I'll wonder if there's anything I did that I could have done a little different Sometimes I'll cry out to anyone who's listening And I'll keep lashing out and screaming And by the time the lights go out I'll see you standing ever nameless Now tell me, will that ever be enough To set me free, just set me free And I'm trying my best but the weight is astounding Self-preservation never seemed so stressful You don't know what it's like to live with this guilt The pain is inherited And by the time the lights go out I'll see you standing ever nameless Now tell me, will that ever be enough To set me free from all these lies and empty swears To the guilty I was never even there And when it's all said and done I hope this guilt swallows you whole I hope it keeps you up at night wondering what could have been Wondering if life is all just some big fucking tragedy And by the time the lights go out I'll see you standing ever nameless Now tell me, will that ever be enough To set me free, just set me free And by the time the lights go out I'll see you standing ever nameless Now tell me, will that ever be enough To set me free from all these lies and empty swears Teach me how to let go
