Additional information
The song begins as just four notes played on the piano; these four notes are repeated for 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.
Composition
Con-Science is written in the key of G minor, and moves in common time at 60bpm. Bellamy's vocal range in the song spans from G3 to D5.
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
