I learned this trick at a young age
Never live in the spotlight

I took all the goodness that I could find, held it up to the night
If I could give it all away, let the wind sweep it out of my hands
I could be free from the burden of lonesome pride
I'd be clean
The mind trails off until I snap back
The weight was simply replaced with shame
Facing the sun in hopes to stay warm, even without you
How did I find the time to be gone so much?
And see there it is, whispering to me like always
You're familiar
You've become my lullaby for quite some time now
The mind trails off until I snap
Can I correct all of layers of lies?
Risk taking, letting myself be known to you
Offering all the pain and my goodness in hopes of what it could do
Maybe I'll find that true freedom
And maybe I'll hold it for a night
Courage calls me out from my shell
Liberation waits until I bloom, bloom, bloom
Shame, haven't you had enough of me yet?
You're beginning to take all that I am
Haven't you had, all that you want?
You’re beginning to take away
Haven't you had, all that you want?
I know you’ve had all of me
Haven't you had, all that you want?
All of me
So instead of pushing you away by needing you to stay, I refrain from casually allowing this shame to stay
And allow you to leave, allow you to go, allow you to be whatever it is that you get to be
