Intro
Chorus
Shame
All I Feel Is Shame
A Thousand Years Of Shame
A Billion Tears Of Shame
Verse 1
And Nothing Stays The Same As It Used To Be
And Nothing Can Remain, Like It Used To Be
And I Can't Be The Person That I Used To Be
And I Wish I Was That Person, That I Used To Be
Chorus
Oh Shame
All I Feel Is Shame
A Thousand Years Of Shame
A Billion Tears Of Shame
Verse 2
I Reject The Devils Work And I Walk Into The Light
And I Wish I Could Do Something To Make It All Right
And I Pray I Can Forget Everything I've Done
And Maybe Start A New Life And Never Have To Run
But I Keep On Walking
Walking Out That Door
I Stop And Lay A While
On The Hardwood Floor
And I'm Sorry To All Who Love Me, And Those That I Forgot
I'm Sorry To All My Friends On Whose Hands I've Trod
And I Believe In Truth, And I Believe In Love
And I Believe In Christ, And The Lord Above
And I Believe In Satan, And The Number Six
And I'll Spend My Whole Life Fighting, Fighting Off His Tricks
And I'm Sorry To My Lovers For Being Who I Am
And I'm Sorry To The Listener Who Just Doesn't Give A Damn
And I'm Sorry To My Parents For Never Being Their Your Son
And I'm Sorry For Saying Sorry And Ruining All The Fun
Everyone I've Been, Every One I'll Be
Everything I Touch, Everything I See
Chorus
All I Feel Is Shame
A Thousand Years Of Shame
A Billion Tears Of Shame
I Hang My Head In Shame
I Surrender To My Shame
I Give My Life To Shame
I Give In To My Shame

Verse 3
N.c.
Beige Flat Stripmall Texan Skies
N.c.
That Prolonged Our Naive Apathy
N.c.
Where A Blank Stare Can Hide Your Hate
N.c.
And Loving Yourself Feels Like Psychopathy
I Did Not Like What I Saw In The Mirror
I Did Not Like What Was Reflected Towards Me
I Imagined My Death As An Angel In The Corners
I Had Not Seen Things Beautiful And Free
All We Want Is To See Each Other
Those Who We Choose To See
A Sisterhood Of Immutable Characteristics
Something We Can All Be Proud To Be
Wouldn't It Be Nice To Have A Room Of Your Own
Wouldn't It Be Nice Not To Be So Alone
Wouldn't It Be Nice To Have Our Place In The Sun
Wouldn’t It Be Nice Just To Have Some Fun
Yeah Wouldn't It Be Nice Just To Have Some Fun
Yeah Wouldn't It Be Nice Just To Have Some Fun
Verse 4
You're Not As Insane As You Think You Are
Though It Can Be Fun To Convince Yourself Sometimes
Except For When You Convince Yourself As If Possessed
Then It Isn't Really Fun Sometimes
What's A Girl Like You Doing In A Place Like This?
A Girl For Whom Everything Is Real And Felt Intensely
Sensitive To All Changes In The Weather
And Selling Us Her Own Tragedy
The Tragedy Tells Us Of Our Lives But It Doesn't Have To Inform Them
Our Heroine Falls To The Floor In An Affect Of Death
This Is Not Real Death (This Is Not Real Death)
The Chorus Take The Stage, All Masked And Beautiful
They Run Circles To Prove To Us That Life Continues
That Every Moment Is Precious
That We Have Been One With Each Other This Entire Time If You Can Believe That
Verse 5
I've Been Saying "I Only Know That I Know Nothing"
I've Been Saying That A Lot These Days
I've Been Writing Letters To Ghosts
I've Been Told That Patience Pays
I've Been Sleeping Chemically Induced
I've Been Sleeping In All Kinds Of Beds
I've Been By My Own Doubt Seduced
I've Been Watching My Thoughts Form In My Head
I've Been Bad At Being A Son
I've Been Trying Hard To Be A Better Daughter
I've Been Seeing Myself In The Rearview Mirror
I've Been Seeing Where That Bitterness Brought Her
I've Been Looking At Pictures Of That Angry Young Man
I've Been Wondering What Words I'd Give Her
I've Been Listening To That Young Man Writhe In Agony
I've Been Trying Hard To Forgive Her
Verse 6
There Is No Cure For Our Shame
It Is Universal And Human Feeling
But Nothing Ever Has To Stay The Same
As It Was In The Beginning
There Is No Way To Exorcize Our Shame
There Is No Pill Or Bottle Or Powder To Treat It
But An Awareness Of The Presence Of Others
Can Give Us The Distance We Need To See It
There Is No Cure For Our Shame
There Is Only Light And Music
There Is No Need To Wallow In Our Shame
When There Is An Abundance Of Light And Music
We Cannot Shrug The Weight Of Our Shame
But Across Many Backs We Can Bear It
A Million Billion Trillion Tears Of Shame
Ain't Too Much If We Share It
