Lyrics
A Homage To A 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.
Say one thing for sorrow; say nothing for joy
It's a piss over our parade, the devices you employ
Say one thing for sorrow; it never leaves me dry
As i beg, steal and borrow; there's no tears when i cry
But i try and try and try and try again; but i try and try and try and try again
But no, nothing can stop me, no, nothing at all
I'm the entrance and the exit, the clogging will make you stall
Now your conscience clear stall, now you've got so old
It's in the way you'll never wake up; in the way you feel the cold
Time is running out
Looks invent a felling in a meaningless exchange
It's a testament to perseverance; a homage to a shame
Cover your mouth
Time is running out
Looks invent a felling in a meaningless exchange
It's a testament to perseverance; a homage to a shame
Cover your mouth
Undone and reckless is your mind
It's up to you; trust or not trust alone
Cover your mouth and hold it, hold it, hold it
Oh that sacred substance i crave;
Is just another privilege i wave
Hold it, hold it, f-f-f-fuckin' hold it, hold it, hold it
It's power i am drawn to;
Its potency and flavour;
Drives me and ignites me;
Fuels a dirty secret
Why can't i just tell?
Why can't i just tell the truth??
