CONSCIENCE

Verse 1

I don’t say much

I let it sit

Some truths don’t need a voice

I move through rooms

Like nothing’s wrong

Like I’ve already made my choice

I smile easy

I stay light

I don’t ask you to explain

But there’s a quiet

Following me

That still remembers everything

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I don’t raise the question

I just let it stay

⸻

Chorus

Conscience

Talking low in the background

Like it’s not trying to be heard

Conscience

Saying things I almost missed

Because the sound was beautiful first

(this line is the delayed sting — don’t emphasize it)

⸻

Verse 2

We could go anywhere

That’s what we said

Like distance fixes time

I didn’t chase it

I just watched

As the feeling learned to hide

I kept moving

Kept it clean

Never asked for something more

But some nights

The silence knows

Exactly what I settled for

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I don’t call it regret

I call it grace

⸻

Chorus

Conscience

Still humming underneath it

Like a melody I ignored

Conscience

Telling me the truth so softly

I didn’t feel it till much later on

⸻

Bridge (spoken-sung, barely there)

It wasn’t loud

It wasn’t cruel

It didn’t break me in two

It just waited

Until I was calm enough

To hear it

(instrumental breath — violin carries this)

⸻

Final Chorus

Conscience

I thought I left you behind

But you stayed in tune with me

Conscience

You didn’t hurt me at the time

You waited

Until I was ready to see

⸻

Outro

(long instrumental outro)

I heard it…

Eventually.
