Conscience from Unspoken Truth by Melanie Lowe

Conscience

I came face to face with my conscience today
And he smiled somewhat shyly than looked away
Strange that he should be so nice
Knowing he knows all my vices
I guess I should be good to him today

Chorus
And I guess I could be good
At least I know I surely would
If I knew I truly could be good today

Could you stay awhile
Maybe have a drink?
I’d like to know your thoughts, your views
Just what you think, yeah
I don’t think I know you well
I’m wondering if you could tell
Perhaps I’ll get to know you more today

Chorus

So I came face to face with my conscience today
And he smiled somewhat shyly than looked away
Funny he should be so nice
Could be he’s a little biased
I guess I should be good to him today

Sometimes I find it hard to reconcile my thoughts with words
And I know that when you’re watching me
You’re thinking, “How absurd is she?”
But

If I take a deep breath and begin to speak
Maybe you would find yourself understanding me yeah yeah
You’re the voyeur in my mind
The unseen witness I can’t find
I think perhaps my search should end today

And I guess I could be good
At least I know I surely would
If I knew I truly could be good today hey yeah
And I guess I could be good
At least I know I surely would
If I knew I truly could be good
If I absolutely thought I would
If I only could be good
