Sweet the shame burns deep my heart attacks
sour my eyes and nose as breathing seems to slide
down through my skin a shiver and revolt
sadness lives between my lies
I'm used to shame and used to fear
I'm close relations to the sign
I've never been the lucky one
and always felt the pain.
So why should I pretend to live
A happy life that never was
So why can't I take my revenge
On those of you who gave me breath.
I'm only giving back your gifts
I'm only shooting you
What did you think would happen when
you've pushed me to the end
No excuse when you fed me poison
You are the ones that made me vile
There's no return from torture's hand
When once it has begun
Punish me with all your venom
Sit me at your fire
But know that when I free myself
Your blood is all I see
I've felt the shame, the heat of loss
You've given false report
My weapon came from your your abuse
My finger pulled your pulse
Will be no recompense for us
We are not coming back
We live as human beings free
from one another not
What I repair, we all regret
and no one is exempt.
