Shame (original song)

Please keep calling your senators and demanding a permanent ceasefire. And please consider donating to the PCRF or any other charity (or directly to Palestinians) if you can: https://pcrf1.app.neoncrm.com/forms/g...

Lyrics:
Don’t trust yourself - you were tainted from the start
Let yourself be saved
Get down on your knees and pray that you’ll make the cut someday
Be on your guard your whole life so you’re not left behind

Need to confess and hope and pray that someday I’ll get away
No mistakes, he’s always watching - I just need a clean escape
All this shame

This isn’t love I see
I only feel the ache of empty promises they break
I’ve been controlled by fear but now I turn away
There’s nothing waiting there for me

The guilt, it builds and burns and eats away
Can I get through the day?
Just ungrateful - say you’re sorry for taking up space
All that shame

This isn’t love I see
I only feel the ache of empty promises they break
I’ve been controlled by fear but now I turn away
There’s nothing waiting there for me

I’ve been at the mercy of a never-ending “what if”
But if I’m being honest, I know that this is all there is
Never anyone to protect us, never anybody to judge us
And knowing that, somehow, I feel free.
