Shame

Deny Cold Feet Regret Repeat Can't help but notice I've been here before Transit is out of reach I need to settle the score My mind is fading I can never forget Despair keeps aching Mettle this threat I need to smother the shame I need to protest the blame I need to combust, need to forget Reclaim the sane Keep running the shade It's razing my skin Can't keep up Shame Keep running the blame It's in my head Can't get out Shame Always the same Always the same Victim of shame Keep running the shade It's razing my skin Can't keep up Shame It's in my head Shame My eyes have never been this pale I am a witness of pain Through the shades and tales a blind man knows no haze I am a victim of shame Chains can't hold these voices of the few Nor can it heal those who long for vengeance - fading away Give me light and I'll keep it burning as a beacon of men But give me fire and lands will smolder - I can never maintain Cold and empty, my lungs can't cope This is my last run, this day will wreck me apart What is the purpose of living a lie? I need to smother the shame
