A Song Called Blame

[Verse 1]

I use the season

I use the smoke

I use the terrifying trial of my elegant denial that I'm not losing hope

I stopped the sayings

I stopped the sounds

I stopped the simple meditation that I'll use my education some day and make somebody proud

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I've got reservations

And I'm still insecure

I've been imitating darkness

To hide that I'm not sure

[Chorus]

At least I've still got blame

They're all I can find

And they're soft and they're sweet and they tell me that I'm right all the time

'Cause if I've still got blame

No one can see

All the holes that were left by my pride when it walked out on me

[Verse 2]

I'm a doormat

I'm a cliché

Like the joke that you told when you said I looked old and we both didn't know what to say

Sometimes I'm desperate

Sometimes I'm alright

Sometimes I can't get out of bed and pull the hair out of my head

Some days I lie awake a wait for the light

[Pre-Chorus]

And count my limitations

They make me insecure

I've been acquiescing hindsight

To hide that I'm not sure

[Chorus]

That I'll persist with blame

They're all I demand

They're soft and they're sweet and they tell me no one else understands

'Cause if I still got blame

No one can see

All the holes that were left by my pride when it walked out on me

[Verse 3]

You never said goodbye

You never said I'm needed

You never said I'm sorry

I'm on the floor defeated

You never said you're wrong

I never said you're right

I hope it won't be long

I'd like to sleep tonight

[Chorus]

Instead I sleep with blame

They're all I got left

And they're soft and they're sweet and they tell me I should still be upset

'Cause if I've still got blame

No one can see

All the holes that were left in the lie that you walked out on me

Walked out on me
