Henry Rollins Shame Lyrics

Shame Lyrics

I wonder if you can see
I wonder if you can tell
I wonder if you see through the mask I wear so well
I`ll never let you know what`s going on inside me
My shame locks me down

All the things I wanted tell you
Are all the things I never will
Every time you reached out to me
All I did was push you away

I can`t unchain the beast that screams inside me
I hate it, it`s what I am

It makes me sick to be so mean
What I`ve been and what I`ve seen
From top to bottom, I am obscene
It stands in my place
It spits in my face
Shame

You smile I smile back
You ask me how I am I say I`m fine
I don`t know why I`m so torn up inside my mind
The darkness swallows me whole

Don`t go too deep, don`t ask me why
Don`t try to know me, don`t make me lie
I wish I didn`t know the things I know so well
I try to change but it`s what I am
