Shame

The earth felt cold until it burned red hot in my hands

My eyes were truthful then, I was an ignorant man

The way the bombs explode, the way it tore up their skin

I was tryin' to spit, thought they were killing my friends

And the world was quaking open with all our fathers smiling

And the statues rose high above us and God remained silent

In their parents arms, the kids were falling apart

Broken tiny bodies holding tiny still hearts

There are myriad ways to destroy human skin

Red flesh exposed raw over and over again

And the world was quaking open with all our fathers smiling

And the statues rose high above us and God remained silent

And the world was quaking open with all our fathers smiling

And the statues rose high above us and God remained silent

It stung hot in my eyes, the illusion of justice

It burned deep in my face, felt unbearably selfish

In my mind right now it's just horrible darkness

Had to break away knowing no one can save us

All tears flow from the same source

The same source

All tears flow from the same source

The same source

And the world was quaking open with all our fathers smiling

And the statues rose high above us and God remained silent

And the world was quaking open with all our fathers smiling

And the statues rose high above us and God remained silent

Shame, shame

Shame, shame
