“Guilty” is the sixth track to appear in Cavetown’s 2021 EP “Man’s Best Friend” In the track we see Robbie speaking through the eyes of a dog and how the dog doesn’t feel loved by its owner and has self-destructive tendencies.
[Verse 1]
I don't think that this feels like love
But I don't wanna let go
Maybe if I just do what you want
Then you'll leave me alone
It feels like you're taking me home
But every other day I see another bone
I hate your guts
But I'll meet you same time, same place tomorrow

They're tryna cover up the bones underneath
No matter what I do I feel guilty

Man's best friend's on first name terms with God
I thought I could fake it but I'm not

[Chorus]
An archaeology excavation on my body
And I'm brushing so gently
They're tryna cover up the bones underneath
No matter what I do I feel guilty
No matter what I do I feel guilty
