Your Man Alex Smith - Guilty Lyrics

I sit in her blood
Dripping from my claws
Playing in the mud
Waiting for the law
They all pat my back
The local thugs
It's like gasoline
On the fire for my drugs

And in the morning light
I see what I have done
I see that things aren't right
See what I have become

So someone take me home
I can't stand the guilt
Someone take me back
To the kingdom that I have built
Cos when I'm on my throne
Once I've returned
I will try to tear off this crown
That I have earned

And when it comes tumbling down with me inside
Tell them it was love, not greed or pride
That's why I persist, Why I press on
I need you to forgive all the things that I have done

And I don't deserve your love
But it's what I need
Oh I have had enough
Of the pride and the greed
I didn't mean for this
I came here for good
But I don't feel the way
That I thought that I would

But you can cut my claws
File down my teeth
Put me in a cage
But you can't change a beast
So I admit my guilt, Take me away
Where is my salvation that I was promised anyway?

I am guilty
I am guilty
I am guilty
I am guilty
