Shame (Shame)
Give me a reason to keep it around
Shame (Shame)
Cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns
Hey, hey I'm not here
To be the sufferer
For the fears of all humankind
I'm here to sing and get up in your everything

I didn't know it by sight but believe me
It was snarling at the essence of being alive
And I began to see my way out it looked easy
Just had to kick the double dealer out of my life
But it's a cool player
A greater persuader
It worked me over and
I fell back down into shame

Shame (Shame)
Give me a reason to keep it around
Shame (Shame)
Cause I am tired of wearing the crown of thorns
Hey, hey I'm not here
To be the sufferer
For the fears of all humankind
I'm here to sing and get up in your everything
