Remorse Lyrics - Sam Phillips

Pulling the trigger 

A shot would fire then he'd wake 

To red lips above him smeared 

With scorn and stale restraint 

She covered him with pity 

Like a snake about to strike 

And then pronounced him hopeless 

When he wouldn't do as she would like 

He's so sorry he can't feel remorse 

He tries to keep the helpless ship on course 

The blameless sky pales as a storm comes 

Taking it by force, he's so sorry 

Flashes of justice 

After all she'd done for him 

For the first time she was quiet 

As he touched her moon pale skin 

They found him hours later 

He was talking to the gun 

Saying Father please forgive her 

She has killed her only son 

And he's so sorry he can't feel remorse 

He tries to keep the helpless ship on course 

The blameless sky pales as a storm comes 

Taking it by force, he's so sorry 

He's so sorry, can't feel remorse 

And he's so sorry he can't feel remorse 

He tries to keep the helpless ship on course 

The blameless sky pales as a storm comes 

Taking it by force, he's so sorry
