Shame

Cover me My body Don't let me be exposed Dress my vulnerability In fancy clothes Hide my hurt beneath empty words While unspoken terms burn holes inside my worth The silent plague The silent killer Pressure builds until I'm ready to erupt Not the kind that forms diamonds in the rough But the kind that tells diamonds they aren't enough Oh, shame Lord break these chains So I can dance in the rain Lord take this weight And set me free from shame Adam, Eve Knowledge tree Eating lies from the devil brought shame Centuries of consuming deceit Why do we still do the same? See, the Truth was sent to set you free But your mind's a penitentiary Locked inside your past Those painful memories Said the Truth was sent to set you free But you let two cents tell you you're unworthy Loose change is starting to get heavy Take a toll And turn to shame Lord break these chains So I can dance in the rain Lord take this weight And set me free from shame Makes you hide your mistakes Out of pride Out of fear that you'd be burned at the stake Crucified Cross your heart and hope to never awake But Jesus already died So that we could live a life Free of Shame Lord break these chains So I can dance in the rain Lord take this weight And set me free from shame
