Lyrics Humiliation - Kate Miller-Heidke, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Benjamin Northey

Humiliation

I wanna be loved by strangers, hug my heroes
But I’m seeing shadows, where I go they go
Mirrored by the moment, painted back against the wall
Well, where’s the loophole?
Where’s the exit?
My legs are dragging on sticky carpet
Drink it down in one hit, stare along the skirting board
Humiliation
Humiliation, humiliation
Tell me where to hide all this frustration
Cause this is not the time or place
Humiliation
Caught stark naked, an awkward vagrant
It’s cold, cold comfort, l’esprit d’escalier
I don’t know how to do it, I think I’m not quite right
Mirror, mirror in my head
The valley of strangers, I can’t see through it
I don’t know how you do it, you do it every time
Humiliation, humiliation
Tell me where to hide all this frustration
Cause this is not the time or place
Humiliation
Tell me where to hide all this frustration
Cause this is not the time or place
This is not the time or place
