Conscious?

My only conscious is a lie
Imminent calamity
I'd better die tonight
Before I let my name run free
Caught up on a whim
I can't remember anything
So I'd better share the skin
Consequence of my prejudice
In the end I see it's art
I reminisce on carelessness
Now I hallow out the heart
Impudence and indolenceness
Now I'm right back at the start
This is goobye
To what kept me apart

I rue the moment
Seize control, lost
Am I the cattle or the herd
Savor the minute
Lost control, lust
Do I battle cuz it hurts
Now I'm split between
Lock, love, rust
This power I had subvert
Now no longer
Can I, will I
Find a thing to assert

I sold my soul
Killed away my legacy
All for just a bit of
Peace and privacy
Please find me

When the sun meets the night
I burned away my cancers
For they seen the peak of light
Forgive me
It took away all of my might
My own failures fester
I know in this life I don't bide by what's right
