A song about rifts in opinion, and not being able to come to terms with feelings. WIth a dirty great big heavy bit in the middle.
We are Delusi0n, a prog-tinged hard rock band from Ayrshire, Scotland. At the moment it's just me (Neil McDougall), but that will change once I start back at college.
Story behind the song
I needed more songs for the demo. I wrote it. Yay.
Lyrics
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
--------------------
Verse- Bm D Bm G
----------------
Some people say,
That confession cleanses the soul,
Some people say,
That posession fills up the hole,
Some people say,
That temptation knocks at your door,
Some people say,
That love don't live here any more...
Chorus - B5 A5 G5 E5 F#5
------------------------
What we have is conflict of interest,
Viewpoints colliding, Supernova politics,
I don't have time for the bullshit rhetoric,
So I'll just take the time to carry on
Verse
-----
Someday I'll say,
That we have nothing to gain,
Then maybe you'll say,
That maybe I just can't take the pain,
Soon I'd reply,
That maybe I should get up and leave,
But I can't hear you cry,
As you say that I would never believe,
Chorus
------
What we have is conflict of interest,
Love dissolving in an ocean of dissent,
Now I must catalogue all the sins for which I must repent,
So I just take my life and move along,
Solo/Instrumental Break
-----------------------
Verse
-----
I couldn't say,
The three words you needed to hear,
And now I must pay,
The price of my internal fear,
To say those three words,
Would've taken more strength than I had inside,
I threw it away,
Now all I have left is pride.
Chorus
------
What I feel is conflict of interest,
Emotions colliding, forcing me into duress,
I left you behind to tidy away my sordid mess,
And only now I see where I went wrong,
