about

Shame is a song about recovering from trauma. It has a lot of inspirations from different experiences and stories.

lyrics

I try to reach out but I can’t speak
all the pain is growing in me.
I call out but you’re not there
the fear is gliding through the air
My voice is loud and you’re not near
so you can’t hear that we’re living in fear.
You don’t hear me. You don’t see me
and my cries they go unanswered
I can’t sleep. My heart is weak
I’m falling fast, somebody please catch me.
So if I try to let go of all of my pain
So what If I do, then I never had anything to gain
My mouth is holding all the other words I should have made
We’re a world apart and you never have anything to say.

If I could follow a trail of your blood
would it still be you would you know us
If we found you safe and sound
would you still want me around?
If I remember every heart ache
one thing we never did was break.
Our love runs deep then why can’t we
Seem to speak to one another
You don’t hear me. You don’t see me
and my cries they go unanswered
I can’t sleep. My heart is weak
I’m falling fast somebody please catch me.
So if I try to let go of all of my pain
So what If I do, then I never had anything to gain
My mouth is holding all the other words I should have made
We’re a world apart and you never have anything to say.

If they hadn’t touched my skin and burned deep
These old scars they’re the kind that breathe
and My shame put me in the closet
shut the door and then she locked it
threw away the key and buried me
in my own prison, which I still live in.
You don’t hear me. You don’t see me
and my cries they go unanswered
I can’t sleep. My heart is weak
I’m falling fast somebody please catch me.
they won’t let me sleep. My body bleeds
I’m falling fast somebody please catch me.
So if I try to let go of all of my pain
So what If I do, then I never had anything to gain
My mouth is holding all the other words I should have made
We’re a world apart and you never have anything to say.
You don’t hear me. You don’t see me
and my cries they go unanswered
