Additional information

The song begins as just 4 notes repeated on the piano several times with vocals over the top, nearer the end, though, a mass of sounds, drums and distortion comes in finishing of the song.

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 other 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
