Lyrics Consequence - Assemblage 23

Consequence

Mere apologies won’t undo what you’ve done
The echoes linger on, the backlash has begun
Feigned indifference, your least convincing mask
But deep down inside, its forgiveness that you ask
When hurt and lies become the currency
All it buys us is more tragedy
Hide behind the veil of ignorance
But every action has a consequence
More sleepless nights, your conscience rouses you
Self-medicate, so you can make it through
Every day goes by at a slow and sickly pace
You chose to live a lie, now it can’t be erased
When hurt and lies become the currency
All it buys us is more tragedy
Hide behind the veil of ignorance
But every action has a consequence
You’re breaking up, the clock is running out
Guilt eats you alive and fills your soul with doubt
Brought to your knees by what you did and said
The echoes linger on, resounding in your head
When hurt and lies become the currency
All it buys us is more tragedy
Hide behind the veil of ignorance
But every action has a consequence
