SHAME MUSIC

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 the 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

I reject the devils work

And I walk into the light

And I wish I could do something

To make it all right

And I pray I can forget

Everything I've done

And maybe start a new life

And never have to run

But I keep on walking

Walking out that door

I stop and lay a while

On the hardwood floor

And I'm sorry to all who love me

And those that I forgot

I'm sorry to all my friends

On whose hands I've trod

And I believe in truth

And I believe in love

And I believe in Christ

And the lord up above

And I believe in Satan

And the number six

And I'll spend my whole life fighting

Fighting off his tricks

And I'm sorry to my lovers

For being who I am

And I'm sorry for the listener

Who doesn't give a damn

And I'm sorry to my parents

For being your son

And I'm sorry for saying sorry

And ruining all the fun

Everyone I've been

And everyone I'll be

Everything I touch

And everything I see

All I feel is shame

I live my life in shame

I give my life to shame

I hang my head in shame

I surrender to my shame

All I feel is shame

A thousand years of shame

A billion tears of shame
