Lyrics Guilt - Extortionist

Guilt

I thought everything would be just fine
That we would make amends and we would be alright
But I never got to say goodbye.
I swear I’m losing my mind
The more that time passes me by
I’ve been living in a world crawling on my knees
Fucking losing sleep.
(Grinding my fucking teeth)
My innocence is tearing at the seams
Why can’t I escape this guilt that’s haunting me?
It’s strangling me
But you’ll never under stand that guilt will never set me free
I’m a liar and a coward and my gut still turns within each passing hour
Why can’t I just close my eyes?
Why can’t I just close my eyes?
Why can’t I just close my eyes?
And say goodbye to this life of mine
The weight of regret is fucking dragging me down
Sinking deeper and deeper, forcing me to drown
In a sea that has nothing left for me but a series of bad memories
Nothing but a frayed sanity
Why can’t I just close my eyes?
Why can’t I just close my eyes?
And say goodbye to this life of mine
Because I’m losing my fucking mind
