Shame
Give me a reason to keep it around
Shame
Cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns
Hey hey I’m not here
to be the sufferer
for the fears of all humankind
I’m here to sing and get up in your everything
I didn’t know it by sight but believe me
It was snarling at the essence of being alive
And I began to see my way out it looked easy
Just had to kick the double dealer out of my life
But it’s a cool player
A greater persuader
It worked me over and
I fell back down into shame
Chorus
I reckoned all I had to do
is start on the good foot
and I’d be on my way out of the zoo
but when I tried to put my good foot into it
I tripped up on the doubts I’d been dying to undo
Yeah It’s a dictator
A dirty space invader
It worked me over and I
fell back down into shame
Chorus
What would I be without it?
I might be so alone
But I could be free without it
I don’t need an evil twin, a spitting imagine, a Ms. Hyde,
I don’t need
Shame
It’s time
I won’t be a part
of double-crossing my heart
It’s time
Bring the future
