Aftertaste – My Name Is Shame

I`m all alone with my thoughts and feeling lonely in this crowded room…just

how close are we to taking this too far?…gaze into the haze and find a

star…it`s who we are

the day I was born they gave me a name

they slapped my ass and called me shame

I try to make a change, but it stays the same

my name is shame

if shame`s a game this game is lame

born to succeed and choose to lose…I was so concrete when so

confused…poker faces beg – amuse us if you can…turning heads is dead…get

beneath our skin

gaze into the haze and find a star…gaze into the haze, it`s who we

are…force a smile only when provoked…showing all your teeth to let them

know…cornered creatures jumping at the chance to self-preserve…the nerve

of self-defense
