Lyrics
The Shame Game
(Verse 1)
You asked me to tell you
How to deal with a hell called shame
You’re feeling so worthless
And you’re filled with such self-blame
(Midverse)
No one can make you
Make you feel
No one can make you
Feel that way
It’s up to you now
Up to you now
You need to
Find your own way
(Chorus)
The wheels go round and round and
Always the same
It’s known in guilty circles
By the same name
When people point the finger
Your way
Remember they’re just playing
The shame game
(Verse 2)
Too many people
Are in prison to stay
The door’s locked from inside
Yet they can’t find their escape
(Midverse)
When you want to
When you want to
Sink in the ground and disappear
Know that it’s only
Know that it’s only
Giving into their lies and fear
(Chorus)
The wheels go round and round and
Always the same
It’s known in guilty circles
By the same name
When people point the finger
Your way
Remember they’re just playing
The shame game
(Bridge)
The shame
The shame
The shame game
Courage
Confidence
Self-empathy are yours to reclaim
(Chorus)
The wheels go round and round and
Always the same
It’s known in guilty circles
By the same name
When people point the finger
Your way
They’ll try to con you into
The shame game
It happens when some people
Take aim
They make you feel worthless
Defame your name
When people point the finger
Your way
Remember they’re just playing
The shame game
