My Confessional

Lyrics:

© marocon
Well I've been good
And I've been bad
Done some things
Wish I never had

Life and I
ain't on such good terms
Never seen a bridge
I didn't wanna burn

Most of the time
Ain't much to say
Even when I should
I can never walk away

Welcome to my confessional
I'll tell you everything you really wanna know

Everybody thinks they know my story
Everybody says they're really very sorry
Everybody sees what's round the bend
Everybody knows how it's all gonna end

Everybody loves it when you're down
A whole lot of pity going round
Shake your head in sorrow throw a dollar in my hat
Wondering why the hell I can't get up off my back

You're the king of the casual question
Always disguising your thirst
But you lap up the sordid details
With a hunger so large it might burst

They say there are secrets you take to the grave
Just another lie I don't ever want to face
Truth be told I'd prefer it that way
But secrets won't stay chained at the bottom of the lake

Welcome to my confessional
I'll tell you everything you really wanna know
Sure to make you feel better bout yourself
Happy it all happened to somebody else

One for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Are you sure you wanna know?

These things that I did don't make me proud
Even in my dreams they drag me back down

Welcome to my confessional
I'll tell you everything you really wanna know
Sure to make you feel better bout yourself
Happy it all happened to somebody else

Can't bury secrets
With no mount of cash
Lay waste to the present
Like missiles from the past

They say only God
Can wash us of sin
Been down to the river
Can't find where he's been

Been told there are secrets you take
To the grave
Just another lie I don't ever want to face
Truth be told I'd prefer it that way
But secrets won't stay chained at the bottom of the lake

Welcome to my confessional
I'll tell you everything you really wanna know
Sure to make you feel better bout yourself
Happy it all happened to somebody else

Well I've been good
And I've been bad
Done some things
Wish I never had

Life and I
ain't on such good terms
Never seen a bridge
I didn't wanna burn

Welcome to my confessional
I'll tell you everything you really wanna know
Sure to make you feel better bout yourself
Happy it all happened to somebody else
