Текст песни
I see him in the mirror
That hollow-eyed ghost...
Every crack in my face
Is a story I chose
But the worst scars I carry
Aren't cut in my flesh...
They're the names that I failed
When they needed my best
I should've been the steady hand
The light in the storm
Instead I let the shadows
Be my only form
I should've been the father
Who taught them how to stand
Not the broken silhouette
Who let go of their hand
Better man better son better brother better friend...
I've been losing every title I was born to defend
SHAME FACED it's written in my eyes
Every truth I've buried under lies
SHAME FACED I can't wash it away
No matter how much I beg or pray
SHAME FACED I've worn it too long
For every right I turned into wrong
I should've been the lover
Who never walked away
The husband who chose
To fight and stay
I should've been the brother
With arms open wide
Not the stranger who watched
From the other side
You can hide your hands
You can hide your sins...
But you can't hide your face
From the places you've been
And I've seen mine
A war I've already lost...
Carved in the lines
At too great a cost
Better man failed him
Better son betrayed him
Better brother left him
Better father lost them
Better husband burned her
Better lover turned her
Every promise...
Another grave
SHAME FACED it's carved into my skin
For every fight I should've fought to win
SHAME FACED it's the crown that I wear
Built from every time I wasn't there
SHAME FACED no one else to blame
I am the sum of my own name
I see him in the mirror...
