Shame - Mary Lambert

One, two, three, four

Can’t find a reason to get out of bed

But you’re lying next to me

It’s not your fault

One, two, earthquake

All of the people inside of my brain

Are divided

And fighting

Say, «Get over it»

And shame is an ocean

I swim across

Across

Across

Across

You can’t break me

If I’ve already done it myself

You can’t shame me

If I’ve already done it myself

You can’t drown me

If I’ve already done it myself

But I wanna come alive

I wanna come alive

I wanna come alive

I wanna come alive

One, two, dark room

Does anybody know the way out of here?

I planted roses in the backyard

Don’t remember why

One, two, forget

The language of memory, the nouns

The hurt, I’m not a

Person, a place, or a thing

And shame is an ocean

I swim across

Across

Across

Across

You can’t break me

If I’ve already done it myself

You can’t shame me

If I’ve already done it myself

You can’t drown me

If I’ve already done it myself

But I wanna come alive

I wanna come alive

I wanna come alive

I wanna come alive

If I hate myself enough

I can call it kindness

If I hate myself enough

I can call it kindness

You can’t break me

If I’ve already done it myself

You can’t shame me

If I’ve already done it myself

You can’t drown me

If I’ve already done it myself

But I wanna come alive

I wanna come alive

I wanna come alive

I wanna come alive
