Shame Lyrics

You hide perfection well
Behind a crumbling shell
The thoughts brew
There inside of you

On top of it all?
Or just about to fall?
I have seen your face
Yes, I know you

I am the voice calling
I control time
I will leave you never
Until you take the leap

In the mirror before me
Is that me staring back?
A jaded old man
Staring into shame

I savor the taste of defeat
I stand beside you
Whispering in your ear
I knew it would come to this

For I know your worth
I know where you come from
I'm in control

In the mirror before me
Is that me staring back?
A jaded old man
Staring into shame

And my tired eyes
Look blankly into the frame
At a dead man
Staring into shame

I am the hate, loathing
I control your eyes!
I will make you watch
Can you see it now?

In the mirror before me
Is that me staring back?
A jaded old man
Staring into shame

And my tired eyes
look blankly into the frame
At a dead man
Staring into shame
