Red​-​faced, Revision

from Haunting Ground by Elbury

/

lyrics

Caught out, called out,
You see me being, not deliberate or mean,
Just misbehaving in a minor key.
It's nothing to shout about.
Cast a sharp look in my
Direction as I fly.

I don't look back
Inside my head, I'm boiling
Indignation must give way to red-faced shame.
When I realise
I was wrong all along, so I rewrite it.

That guy was all over the road
How was I supposed to know?
With just the work of a mere moment,
My conscience clears.

I was voicing poison, you overheard
Just enough for a stain to fix there.
An unfiltered view is the last thing
I'd ever want to give to you.

I churn, I churn inside;
I taste sour milk and black bile.
I'm not, I'm not alright with this
So rewrite it and write it down...

I was making jokes
How was I supposed to know?
With just the work of a mere moment,
My conscience clears.
