4. State of Guilt
We’re all in a state of guilt
We will never feel relieved
Restless, haunted by reproach
Always, in a state of guilt
Limits unknown, mind overload
Nothing seems real in a mental overdose
Every day, the pressure to perform
This is what we are searching for..?
We’re all in the haze of irony
Don’t hesitate, in a constant state of guilt
[ref]
We all fail as one / Forever, in a state of guilt
We’re all in a state of guilt
We will never feel relieved
Restless, haunted by reproach
Always, in a state of guilt
Drowning in fear, choices to take
Words must be spoken, to clarify our needs
With our backs, against the wall
It’s time to make the final call
The jack of all trades, master of none
Never quit after we fall
[ref]
All that we hear / All that we see
Nothing is real / What can we do?
All we did feel / The taste of fear
Nothing is real / Denial is our truth
Limits unknown, mind overload
Nothing seems real in a mental overdose
Drowning in fear, choices to take
Words must be spoken, to clarify our dreams
Every day, teaching us the same
No one will take the blame
We haven’t learned, from our mistakes
With bitter tears, in a constant state of guilt
