Conscience = Dead

Conscience = Dead

I've been warned about you
My mind knows that trouble will brew
But my heart is convinced we'll make it through
I still don't think love is what you'll pursue

My conscience refuses to work
It's as if it could care less if I go berserk
With me it will lurk
Helping me would just be a rare perk...

They tell me it's because I'm in love
That's just another thing I'm in denial of
They say it's a gift from above
I would never expect him to belove

I've been warned about you
My mind knows that trouble will brew
But my heart is convinced we'll make it through
I still don't think love is what you'll pursue

I told myself I wouldn't go down this road
Never would I have been prepared for upon me this to be bestowed
Figuring you out is like solving an impossible code
Can't help but wonder beforehand if my head will explode

I tell myself I'll take a chance
See what happens with this little romance
I can't let manipulation change my stance
But I'll live life, I'll dance

I've been warned about you
My mind knows that trouble will brew
But my heart is convinced we'll make it through
I still don't think love is what you'll pursue
