Shame

Just give it up man
You could have a happy life
You're too old
You're too dumb
And you don't even care anymore

Why scale the heights for this wounded mockingbird
Who beats his wings trying to find his way out
Is this our home now the sky jeering down for us
Wonders if he can get his wings around all of this

Shame
Oh would it let him get away
Or just let him stay
Cuz he's a rolling stone

I got my doubt bout the work that I'm doin now
The root of evil's what i'm workin for
The harness creaks and the fear of the parasite
Staging and lights but it used to be more

Music is shame
It never lets me get away
And though I long to stay
She's a rolling stone

Oh oh if I could let it go
No owe I wouldn't let it go
All I know
The need to want to hold
Own this little wounded home
This haven I made with
My own judgment and hatred
I'd rather take from my own true nature
This mask that I would rather be
And pay it back again oh how
And pay it back in oh how
And pay it back again oh how
And pay it back with oh how
And pay it back again
And pay it back in
I'd rather pay it back in

Shame
I'll never let it get away
And though I long to stay
I'm a rolling stone

Late summer late afternoon
Diamonds on the water twilight time is comin soon
What can you say now say what did it matter
Hangin over wakin up in the sun
Lookin over didn't do what I could've done
What can you do now discredit your motives
