lyrics

(guilty about what)

I have apologised for sitting down since I was nineteen
For sleeping late, for slowing down, for saying no to things
And I asked my mother how she stops without the guilt
And she looked at me like I had asked her how to breathe

Guilty about what (about what)
She said guilty about what
And went back to her fruit, about what
About what

Guilty about what, guilty about what, guilty about what
Four words took apart nineteen years of it
Guilty about what, guilty about what, guilty about what
She has never once had the disease I brought home

It isn't Lagos and it isn't London. It's not that simple.
It's that she has never once believed she owes anybody
an account of her own afternoon. Not once. Not to anyone.
(LOG DRUM RETURNS)

Guilty about what, guilty about what, guilty about what
Four words took apart nineteen years of it
Guilty about what, guilty about what, guilty about what
She has never once had the disease I brought home

(about what...)
