Because of the Shame |
| We used to get high together, instead of getting high alone. |
| I can’t remember the last time I saw you. |
| I can’t remember the last time we talked. |
| You left home for a fresh start, |
| Working as a waitress down in Bradenton. |
| With my name tattoo’d into your skin. |
| Because of the shame I associate with vulnerability |
| I am numbing myself completely. |
| Can you hear me right now? |
| I watched your mother bury you today, with tears in her eyes. |
| It wasn’t her words that shook me, it was the resemblance you shared. |
| Don’t it feel so detached and unreal? |
| Don’t it seem so far away? |
| Like the past never happened, or like nothings ever changed. |
| With your casket open in front of me, |
| Your eyes closed and your lips silent. |
| With my name tattoo’d into your skin. |
| Because of the shame I associate with vulnerability |
| I am numbing myself completely. |
| Can you hear me right now? |
| I watched your mother bury you today, with tears in her eyes. |
| It wasn’t her words that shook me, it was the resemblance you shared. |
| I didn’t listen to the preacher. |
| I couldn’t look your husband in the eyes. |
| I’m not sure what I meant to you then, |
| So I’m not sure what I owe you now. |
| But if something I said hurt you |
| I swear it was not my intention. |
| With your name tattoo’d into my skin. |
| Because of the shame I associate with vulnerability |
| I am numbing myself completely. |
| Can you hear me right now? |
| I watched your mother bury you today, with tears in her eyes. |
| It wasn’t her words that shook me, it was the resemblance you shared. |
