Le Butcherettes Moment Of Guilt Lyrics

(feat. Henry Rollins)

[Henry Rollins]
Guilt wanted a moment of my time
I asked, "Guilt, what could I possible do for you?"

Guilt said "I've touched many. The good, the bad, the ones you think
Would be impervious to my persuasions, and I've reduced them to
Mere shell of themselves
I take the very strong, the heroic, the weak and the despicable alike
I invade their every thought and movement
Their marriages fail, they become depressed, despondent
Some of them are unable to hold on
But most come out better."

I asked, "How could that be? How could anyone become better by
Having been put through so much pain?

Guilt said, "I make them see themselves for what they are."

I asked, "Whats the point?"

Guilt said, "THat's the problem I'm having, I've come to hate myself, I hate what I do. I feel awful."

"So, youre feeling the wrath of god?" I asked

Guilt looked at the ground and nodded
Guilt then looked up and said, I can't get to you, I've tried and tried. Nothing seems to work."

"What do you think that is?", I asked

Guilt answered, " Because you're a monster."

I said "It took you this long to figure that out?"
