Album: No Pleasantries

Shame

A one-way ticket to a place that's cold and ill
The following twisted dream is what keeps me in this shell
Could have been a doctor, or a Harvard priest
But I wound up being a freak like me

Shame, nothing you can do to hide
Shame, just a little pain inside
Shame, you throw your life away
If I'm drowning, so are you

A secret life, a sacred light, it powers me
I sleep at night with my head hung in misery
A true romance, a deadly dance
It's all means to an end
To find you're sleeping with your only friend

Shame, nothing you can do to hide
Shame, just a little pain inside
Shame, you throw your life away
If I'm drowning, so are you

Tick tock, tick tock
What will you do?
Tick tock, all this is true
Tick tock, tick tock
It's always been you
Tick tock, tick tock
No Jesus loves you

Shame, nothing you can do to hide
Shame, just a little pain inside
Shame, you throw your life away
If I'm drowning, so are you
