Shame

Shame in your eyes with your mouth telling lies And the guilt in your mind still grows Round and round we go You see the world in black and white All these colors just hurt your eyes Separate yourself from all of this just grit your teeth and fall in line Repetition is the hardest part, it captures your mind but never breaks your heart Yeah the damage is done when you've lost everyone, now you've gone too far It's a long way back to where we started We'll find another way just to make you feel alive again (The weight of all that you believe written on a paper thin sheet) The drug will bring you back to get your fill (If this is it, the tragedy, then I'll just hold on tightly to the doubt) Did you ever have a doubt or second thought you might be wrong? Souls aren't meant to hide away inside our very depths and drift along with no purpose at all We came with heavy hearts to claim all that's ours, but empty hands are all that we found You're blaming all my waywardness on cigarettes and booze But I can't walk a straight line without a drink or two Your expectations always wear me out If I was a younger man, I'd slap those words right back into your mouth If this is found then I'd rather be lost I was born a broken man and that's how I will end it all The words come, and your back turns It's the last I see your face Maybe it's just better that way You're the hurting You're the broken You're the one in need of grace You're the called out You're the beckoned But your feet can't pull away from the place that you've been planted in the ground Now your insides are all dried up and your heart is hollowed
