Shame All I feel is shame A thousand years of shame A billion tears of shame
And nothing stays the same As it used to be And nothing can remain Like it used to be And I can't be that person That I used to be And I wish I was that person That I used to be
Shame All I feel is shame A thousand years of shame A billion tears of shame
And I reject the devils work And I walk into the light And I wish I could do something To make it all right I pray I can forgive Everything I've done And maybe start a new life And never have to run But I keep on walking Uh, walking out that door And I stop and lay a while On the hardwood floor I'm sorry to those who love me And those that I forgot I'm sorry to my friends On who's hands I've trod Cuz I believe in truth I believe in love I believe in Christ And the Lord up above And I believe in Satan And the number six I've spent my whole life fighting off his tricks I'm sorry to all my lovers For being who I am I'm sorry to the listener Who just doesn't give a damn I'm sorry to my parents For never being their son I'm sorry for saying sorry And ruining all the fun Everyone I've been Everyone I'll be Everything I touch Everything I see All I feel is shame A thousand years of shame A billion tears of shame I hang my head in shame I surrender to the shame I give my live to shame I give in to my shame
It started with, uh Me being a person who could not function in a daily way The way most people could function I had extreme panic Extreme fear Extreme anxiety and depression From, uh, teenage years I was home-bound I couldn't leave the house Friday was a bad luck day for me Colgate Toothpaste was evil I was a sick person With sick emotional problems In- In a long nervous breakdown
Beige flat strip mall Texan skies That prolonged our naive apathy Where a blank stare can hide your hate Loving yourself feels like psychopathy I did not like what I sung [?] I did not like what was reflected towards me I imagine my death as an angel in the corners I cannot see things beautiful and free Oh what is to see each other Those who we choose to see A sisterhood of immutable characteristics Something you can be proud to be Wouldn't it be nice to have a room of your own Wouldn't it be nice not to be so low Wouldn't it be nice to have our place in the sun Wouldn't it be nice just to have some fun Yeah wouldn't it be nice just to have some fun Oh wouldn't it be nice to have some fun
You're not as insane as you think you are Though it can be fun to convince yourself sometimes Except when you convince yourself as if possessed Then it isn't really fun sometimes What's a girl like you doing in a place like this For whom everything is real and felt intensely Sensitive to all changes in the weather Selling us her own tragedy
The tragedy covers up their lives But it doesn't have to deform them A heroine falls to the floor in an affect of death This is not real death This is not real death (This is not real death) The [?] kicking stage Masked and beautiful And they run circles to prove to us that Life can see you And every moment is precious That we have been [?] this entire time If you can believe that
I've been saying 'I only know that I know nothing' I've been saying that a lot these days I've been writing letters to ghosts I've been told that patience pays (patience pays) I've been sleeping, chemically induced I've been sleeping in all kinds of beds I've been [?] I've been watching my thoughts form in my head I've been bad at being a son I've been trying to be a better daughter I've been seeing myself in the rear-view mirror I've been seeing where that bitterness brought us I've been looking at the jizz of that angry young man I haven't learned what words I'd give her I've been listening to that young man writhe in agony And try hard to forgive her
There's no cure for our shame This universal human feeling Nothing ever has to stay the same As it was in the beginning There's no way to exercise our shame No pill or bottle or powder to treat it, but uh But in awareness of the presence of others Will give us the distance we need to see it There's no cure for our shame There's only light in music There's no need to wallow in our shame When there's an abundance of light in music We cannot shrug the weight of our shame But across many backs we can bear A million billion trillion tears of shame Ain't too much if we share If we share it
I don't mean to complain or anything, um I'm a lucky personTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
