Description
Another dark Muse b-side.
Additional information
Con-Science is written in the key of G minor. Matt's vocal range in the song spans from G3 to D5.
The song begins as just four notes played on the piano, with Matt singing the same notes an octave lower. This piano melody continues throughout the entire song. After the second verse, additional instruments are gradually introduced, building up to a massive wall of distortion at the song's completion.
The title of the song is most likely a play on the word "conscience", hinting it may be a song about someone who has a guilty conscience, or another moral dilemma.
Lyrics
I can’t pretend
Choose how it ends You slipped away Questions here to stay
In fear In sorrow In fear In sorrow
I can’t pretend Consumed by an ends Try bend the rules Rips out the cruels
In fear In sorrow In fear In sorrow
I can’t pretend Choose how it ends You slipped away Questions here to stay
In sorrow In fear In sorrow In fear
In fear In sorrow In fear In sorrow
