Shame on Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wore your stare like glass Cutting my mouth to speak Your poison in the hall Still on my skin this week You fed that fear to kids Like it was something clean I watched the table split And saw what hateful means [Pre-Chorus] The floor starts shaking now Tom rolls in my ribs I hear the whole room rise From all the damage you did [Chorus] Shame on me If I let you win Shame on me If I let hate in (Shame on me) We burn that flag in the rain (Shame on me) We say your name, then spit on the pain [Verse 2] My hands are raw from truth My throat is full of smoke I dragged your lies outside And left them in the cold No crown for cruel men here No throne for filthy fear We learned the cost of silence It’s written in the tears [Pre-Chorus] The floor starts shaking now Tom rolls in my ribs I hear the whole room rise From all the damage you did [Chorus] Shame on me If I let you win Shame on me If I let hate in (Shame on me) We burn that flag in the rain (Shame on me) We say your name, then spit on the pain [Bridge] I was not born to kneel I was not built to break So bring your empty rage I’ll meet it face to face [Final Chorus] Shame on me If I let you win Shame on me If I let hate in (Shame on me) We burn that flag in the rain (Shame on me) We say your name, then spit on the pain
