The burden of Guilt, the complex of Superiority. Or the other way round.

I am many things but a clean conscience
And I try scrubbing all of that blemish
Which sullies an otherwise impeccable orange board.
In case you didn't know, Orange is the new black.
And I never liked things all white.
Some tell me, gather yourself, it's alright
But I always suffer a low flying panic attack
As I negotiate the long and treacherous storyboard
That a naked conscience is.
A nuisance, in common parlance.

I go to bed with it, and wake up with it everyday
Hoping, that as the glaciers in my lacrymal glands melt
The proverbial Ganges will wipe my slate clean
No walk of atonement, no trial by combat
And it will be sunny then, like it always is in Philly
Everybody loves Raymond, everybody will love me
And that's where my mind becomes the savvy diplomat
You're the Mozart in the Jungle, it says with a gleam
You may've culled the nilgai, the odd boar or two you've felled
But remember, this is the jungle, and that's just it's way

In a world full of sinners, you're the guiding light
Afterall, who of your age in this room is still chaste 
You've broken a few promises, stolen a kiss or two
But trust me sans the thug life, it's all a massive waste
