Shame

Trusting, silent shame
Sink your teeth in withered bone
Remind me
Of all you are
Light up the room (Deceptive grin)
Soak in sweat (Spew your name)
Instinct calls you home
But why trust yourself?

I am the weight of my hands
I am the knots in your voice
I am shame (I am shame)
I am the guilt that feeds you
I am the weight of my hands
I am the knots in your voice
I am shame (I am shame)
I am the guilt that feeds you

I am shame (I am shame, I am shame)
I am shame (I am shame, I am shame)

Drag your body home
Stare in their eyes
Convince them
Like you've convinced yourself
You are no flower (You are a fraud)
You are no master (You are the void)
The son of a preacher
Who never bites his tongue

I am the weight of my hands
I am the knots in your voice
I am shame (I am shame)
I am the guilt that feeds you
I am the weight of my hands
I am the knots in your voice
I am shame (I am shame)
I am the guilt that feeds you

I've embraced you
Broken record
Smiling selfishly
Like you've accomplished anything
I've embraced you (I've embraced you)
Breath of disgust (Breath of disgust)
Cultured remorse (Cultured remorse)
What is left to feed you?
Where will you run? (Who will you tell?)
Will they respond? (Do they exist?)
Liar
Liar

Fantasize
Delusions
The anatomy of disease
Left in the sun
Seal your thoughts
Say not one word
Life's cruel joke
Unfolds

Feel your body
Press against the glass
Allow me
To feed you
All you are is what you soak
Another crippled child
Denial
Of savior

Vile conscious
Perverse action
Proof of nothing
Loss of nature

I am silence
I am abuse
I am less than
I am shame
Shame, shame
Shame, shame
Shame, shame
Shame, shame
