lyrics
A small incision made on the surface of my consciousness
Allowed a leak of some toxic poison I can’t resist and
It settles deep inside my bones I can’t get rid of it and
It works its way out through my mouth I try to swallow it and
Shame is a feeling I’m not very unfamiliar with
It drapes itself across me more than I’d like to admit and
It’s hard to see when it throws shade on my accomplishments
When will I, oh when will I grow out of it
Down this slope I slip and struggle to control myself
I feel the weight of it, yeah I’m worrying about my health and
Nothing seems to matter all those feelings that I felt and
Like ice my sense of purpose it all seems to melt and
Shame is a feeling I’m not very unfamiliar with
It drapes itself across me more than I’d like to admit and
It’s hard to see when it throws shade on my accomplishments
When will I, oh when will I grow out of it
My foot has taken up permanent residence inside my mouth
All I know about myself is now called into doubt and
I can’t even feel comfortable inside my own house and
Apparently good judgment is something I can live without
Shame is a feeling I’m not very unfamiliar with
It drapes itself across me more than I’d like to admit and
It’s hard to see when it throws shade on my accomplishments
When will I, oh when will I grow out of it
Allowed a leak of some toxic poison I can’t resist and
It settles deep inside my bones I can’t get rid of it and
It works its way out through my mouth I try to swallow it and
Shame is a feeling I’m not very unfamiliar with
It drapes itself across me more than I’d like to admit and
It’s hard to see when it throws shade on my accomplishments
When will I, oh when will I grow out of it
Down this slope I slip and struggle to control myself
I feel the weight of it, yeah I’m worrying about my health and
Nothing seems to matter all those feelings that I felt and
Like ice my sense of purpose it all seems to melt and
Shame is a feeling I’m not very unfamiliar with
It drapes itself across me more than I’d like to admit and
It’s hard to see when it throws shade on my accomplishments
When will I, oh when will I grow out of it
My foot has taken up permanent residence inside my mouth
All I know about myself is now called into doubt and
I can’t even feel comfortable inside my own house and
Apparently good judgment is something I can live without
Shame is a feeling I’m not very unfamiliar with
It drapes itself across me more than I’d like to admit and
It’s hard to see when it throws shade on my accomplishments
When will I, oh when will I grow out of it
