Lyrics
Dear Shame
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I catch you digging in my trash for stuff I've long thrown away
You bring it back on a tray
And I hear you wheezing in the hall spreading germs and old news
You always love to confuse
I flee the light just to live in your shadow
I'm needing mercy and you offer me blame
Dear Shame
You're oh so eager to toy with me
You're always stealing the joy in me
You love to whisper my name
Dear Shame, dear Shame
You've got me living like a bug, crawling in fear
(It's been a very long year.)
I dream of growing some wings
I think I'm flying away, then you point and you spray
All my hidden secrets crave the light of forgiveness
You pull the shades, you accuse and you blame
I fled the light just to live in your shadow
I needed mercy, and you offered me blame
Dear Shame
I think I'm wise to your strategy
I won't be needing your company
My name's eternally clear
Dear Shame, dear Shame
