Shame

Shame in your eyes with your mouth telling lies
 And the guilt in your mind still grows
 Round and round we go
 You see the world in black and white
 All these colors just hurt your eyes
 Separate yourself from all of this just grit your teeth and fall in line
 Repetition is the hardest part, it captures your mind but never breaks your heart
 Yeah the damage is done when you've lost everyone, now you've gone too far
 It's a long way back to where we started
 We'll find another way just to make you feel alive again
 (The weight of all that you believe written on a paper thin sheet)
 The drug will bring you back to get your fill
 (If this is it, the tragedy, then I'll just hold on tightly to the doubt)
 Did you ever have a doubt or second thought you might be wrong?
 Souls aren't meant to hide away inside our very depths and drift along with no purpose at all
 We came with heavy hearts to claim all that's ours, but empty hands are all that we found
 You're blaming all my waywardness on cigarettes and booze
 But I can't walk a straight line without a drink or two
 Your expectations always wear me out
 If I was a younger man, I'd slap those words right back into your mouth
 If this is found then I'd rather be lost
 I was born a broken man and that's how I will end it all
 The words come, and your back turns
 It's the last I see your face
 Maybe it's just better that way
 You're the hurting
 You're the broken
 You're the one in need of grace
 You're the called out
 You're the beckoned
 But your feet can't pull away from the place that you've been planted in the ground
 Now your insides are all dried up and your heart is hollowed
