Shame

[Verse 1]

I was a child to begin

Hopeless inside of my skin

When you're born from pain, there's no hurt, there's no shame

I'm starting to find some within

[Verse 2]

There's chains welded tight on my shins

With blood dripping down over them

Trauma passed down to me, I don't deserve

I'm breaking a link in the curse

[Verse 3]

But I can't hold on to this shame anymore

I'm closing the drawer, and I'm focusing more

On how to not be so damn cold to the core

Rise from the floor, I'm not high anymore

[Verse 4]

So I'm starting anew, amidst flames in the fire

'Cause the old ways I held, they expired

And I told that to God, and he told me go first

To leave these lessons in the dirt

[Verse 5]

And now I see the light shining in

I'm not who I was from before

I'm not who I wanna be, but ten years from now

I'll look back at how I was reborn

[Outro]

So, I was a child to begin

Hopeless inside of my skin
