Guilt Lyrics by Matt Currie

Exposure

2017

Verse 1
Some days I feel like I'm close, borderline sane sober thoughts turn to ghosts, I just need a real escape, so I meditate to cope, some people understand, most people really don't
Matt, why are you so sad, writing lyrics in your phone, you will never understand, take it easy and let go
Doesn't it kinda seem mad, all the privilege you sow, could easily be had, for somebody else to grow
A lack of struggled in your life, what you struggle with the most, tirer from the sleepless nights, go escaping in these quotes
People ask if you're alright, you don't ever really know, finding comfort by your side, you don't want to be alone
Intellectually alive, clinging on some kind of hope, when I see into your eyes, I connect a higher code, believe until I die, honestly is all I know, tunnel through the lies, freedom is your own, own
Chorus
Verse 2
Some days I don't feel altruistic, how sadistic, when you live in the first world, among hypocrisy a misfit, class divide you cannot talk about 'coz nobody will listen to busy on their pursuit of culture driven selfishness when mortgage lenders made a million homeless, no one goes to prison, still get paid their yearly wage and bonus, all has been forgiven, when the refugees get put in camps, the homeless barley living. Why the fuck are we complicit in injustice and indifference
I'm, accused of being idealistic, but only generally by middle aged men, thriving in business, left or right, left or right, we like to pigeon hole options, let bureaucracy ignore the poorest, kid welcome to England, you have freedom, you have freedom, but you do not yet have wisdom, you will learn to understand that no one man can change a system, let your mind become the earth and spread the love that you've been given, all this guilt can be a burden, when you live inside the prism, but...
Chorus
Verse 3
Some days I feel likes it's too easy, complaining 'bout commercialism with a 42' plasma TV, and I think you are all fucking crazy, but I am worse believe me, 'coz I am self righteous, still don't help the needy
[as] long as I am breathing clean air, healthy eating, drinking h2o that's filtered through a tap never depleting, ten malaria nets is what I will spend on a weekend, but I don't care about that, providing I never see them
It's all about me, I don't think about these other people, that's a mentality on mass, becoming lethal
I'm weakened by our devotion of reaping the benefits of luck, if I was born minority nobody'd give fuck, but I was born a British white caucasian only thing I suffer, is the guilt and mental illness, only love can help recover
Cover eyes and hope a better day appears beyond the rubble, I survive with ease while billions are fearfully in trouble, I
Chorus
