Burning Shame

from Gallows Humour by Rootwork

/

lyrics

I stretch myself thin
Feel my burning shame
So let us begin

I’ll never let you in

I’ve seen your vignette, I know
I’m worth ten of you
Lest you forget

I’ll never let you in

We’ve played once before
Feel my burning shame
Somehow I need more
Feel my burning shame
Now you’re foaming at the mouth about the molehill du jour
I can’t be someone else for you
Step aside you morons I’ve got vindication
I’m nothing but a joke to me

I stretch myself thin again
Lost to apathy
One less front to entertain

I’ll never let you in

Now you’re foaming at the mouth about the molehill du jour
I can’t be someone else for you
Step aside you morons I’ve got vindication
I’m nothing but a joke to me

The very idea of circling the drain makes me circle the drain
When happiness is binary I’d rather be a shade of depressed
Some say empathetically I’m lacking and it separates me
All this withdrawal, deep-set wretchedness, it is promethean fire
I overcommit to stop me wallowing – it’s self-medicating
I live in the now, the now that makes me ashamed when I can’t keep up

Now you’re foaming at the mouth about the molehill du jour
I can’t be someone else for you
Step aside you morons I’ve got vindication
I’m nothing but a joke to me

We’ve played once before
Feel my burning shame
Somehow I need more
Feel my burning shame

Feel my burning shame
