I Catch You Digging In My Trash For Stuff I've Long Thrown Away. You Bring It Back On A Tray.
And I Hear You Wheezing In The Hall Spreading Gems And Old News.
You Always Love To Confuse.
I Flee The Light Just To Live In Your Shadow. I'm Needing Mercy And You Offer Me Blame.
Chorus
Dear Shame:
You're Oh So Eager To Toy With Me.
You're Always Stealing The Joy In Me.
You Love To Whisper My Name, Dear Shame, Dear Shame.

You've Got Me Living Like A Bug, Crawling In Fear. (It's Been A Very Long Year.)
I Dream Of Growing Some Wings, I Think I'm Flying Away, Then You Point And You Spray.
All My Hidden Secrets Crave The Light Of Forgiveness.
You Pull The Shades, You Accuse And You Blame.

Chorus

I Fled The Light Just To Live In Your Shadow. I Needed Mercy, And You Offered Me Blame.

Chorus
Dear Shame:
I Think I'm Wise To Your Strategy. I Won't Be Needing Your Company. My Name's Eternally Clear, Dear Shame, Dear Shame.
