Shame
Shame (shame)
Give me a reason to keep it around
Shame (shame)
'Cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns
Hey-hey, I'm not here to be the sufferer
For the fears of all humankind
I'm here to sing and get up in your everything
I didn't know it by sight, but believe me
It was snarling at the essence of being alive
And I began to see my way out, it looked easy
Just had to kick the double dealer out of my life
But it's a cool player
A greater persuader
It worked me over
And I fell back down into
Shame (shame)
Give me a reason to keep it around
Shame (shame)
'Cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns
Hey-hey, I'm not here to be the sufferer
For the fears of all humankind
I'm here to sing and get up in your everything
I reckoned all I had to do is start on the good foot
And I'd be on my way out of the zoo
But when I tried to put my good foot into it
I tripped up on the doubts I'd been dying to undo
Yeah, it's a dictator
A dirty space invader
It worked me over
And I fell back down into shame
Shame, give me a reason to keep it around
Shame, (shame) 'cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns
Hey, hey, I'm not here to be the sufferer
For the fears of all humankind
I'm here to sing and get up in your everything
What would I be without it?
I might be so alone
But I could be free without it
I don't need an evil twin
A spitting image of Ms. Hyde I don't need
Shame (shame)
Give me a reason to keep it around
Shame (shame)
'Cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns
Hey-hey, I'm not here to be the sufferer
For the fears of all humankind
I'm here to sing and get up in your everything
It's time, I won't be a part
Of double-crossing my heart
It's time, bring the future
It's time, I won't be a part
Of double-crossing my heart
It's time, bring the future
It's time, I won't be a part
Of double-crossing my heart
It's time, bring the future
It's time, I won't be a part
Of double-crossing my heart
It's time, bring the future
Give me a reason to keep it around
Shame (shame)
'Cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns
Hey-hey, I'm not here to be the sufferer
For the fears of all humankind
I'm here to sing and get up in your everything
I didn't know it by sight, but believe me
It was snarling at the essence of being alive
And I began to see my way out, it looked easy
Just had to kick the double dealer out of my life
But it's a cool player
A greater persuader
It worked me over
And I fell back down into
Shame (shame)
Give me a reason to keep it around
Shame (shame)
'Cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns
Hey-hey, I'm not here to be the sufferer
For the fears of all humankind
I'm here to sing and get up in your everything

Of double-crossing my heart
It's time, bring the future
It's time, I won't be a part
Of double-crossing my heart
It's time, bring the future
