Shame Is a River

Shame is a river
When I cross its waters, I always sink
Hope's on the other side
But I got guilt tied like bricks to my feet

I was fifteen when I had my first drink
Numb on the sofa across from a shrink
Keepin' my mouth shut and grindin' my teeth
I got away, as far as I could
But that didn't do me any good
This hurricane's within me

Love is a sunrise
Where's the light to eclipse my grief?
Grace speaks in silence
I been quiet, but I only hear my own screams

I was fifteen when I had my first drink
Numb on the sofa across from a shrink
Keepin' my mouth shut and grindin' my teeth
I got away, as far as I could
But that didn't do me any good
This hurricane's within me

I'm a force of nature, keep your saviors
There's no prayer to reconcile me
Paint me a picture
One where I have finally cried myself clean
Show me a future
Oh, one where I am forgiven and free, yeah

Oh, woah
Oh, no
Oh, no, yeah
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no, no

Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no
