Shame

We walked the long road and look where it got us
Straggling along, but never knew the real trust
The trust that could’ve been if you could’ve taken me
Taken me, accepted me, something none of us could see

We were all so blind
Never looked deep inside
But then were are so young, I see
So young and dependent, so naïve

I took a part of you both
But you never took any of me
If I were drowning and you were the hope
There’s no chance of my security

I tried to force myself not to believe
And run away from the truth that I had seen
But the light shines brighter
Our past the cigarette, the present be a lighter

But could the present be a liar?
Truly this companionship be a fighter
Sad but true this reality can be
You opened up your eyes, but still you don’t see

And so I can tell you want me to go
And so I go, back to being alone
They say that black does give way to blue
Down on the upside, I finally face the truth

It is the darkness that shines so bright
As I watch you all declare me the parasite
But who has time to play a game?
Blame me, hate me, go ahead: shame me
