Album Lyrics (Shame)

Shame


January came
- The smile of a child through the rain
Little boy blue how'd you do?
Come play with the pain
I'll be a good friend
I'll stay to the end of the game
So lend me your ear
And I'll whisper my name
Shame

Company crawled from a mile
Then left me alone
Destiny called for a while
Then put down the phone
Each cute Miss-conception
Passed on the infection of blame
Aborted affection through lethal injection of
Shame

Shadows concealed and congealed
- Crept up unawares
I picked up a plan from the man
Who lives under the stairs
Son you must write
As a child of the night stake your claim
For youth unfulfilled,
Shelved, silenced and killed through the
Shame

I love how you stand in your bands
- Your backs to the wall
Lords of mistruth and mistrust
False gods of fuck all
Christ how I've cried
For the millions that died in Your name
Who'll pick up the pieces
You sad little species of
Shame?
