Deepest Shame

There's no way back from here, hold out

Only one place left to go

One place left to go now

She's crashin' like an airplane

Through a sky of thunderstorm and rain

On autopilot, she's a flyin' aim

For the target, kamikaze, go up in flames

This life has taught her she must pay

Pay the price for her mistakes

I guess she only has herself to blame

And to her, that is the deepest shame

There's no way back from here, hold out

Only one place left to go

One place left to go now

She was once a princess but now she's a mess

A fiend for a fix, like the rest

Eliciting sex when pocketless

But she was a sweet thing nevertheless

Back in the day, abused as a child

She was always likely to end up this way

The past lived in the dark parts of her brain

And only heroin seemed to take away the pain

So she folded the foil and lit the flame

Inhale, exhale out once again

She's on the game, they all know her face

And her standard goin' rate, just not her name

With only herself to blame, she lives this Hell

But there's a million other girls just like Michelle

Out in the streets with nothin' else to sell

To these desperate males other than themselves, so

There's no way back from here, hold out

Only one place left to go

One place left to go now

There's no way back from here, hold out

Only one place left to go

One place left to go now

I've been walkin' along this dead end road

For so long now, I just can't tell

If there's any way back the way I came

Though what blocks my path is the deepest shame

I've been draggin' myself to the lowest of low

For such a while, I just don't know

If the path I take is somethin' I can change

But what stands in my way is the deepest shame

There's no way back from here, hold out

Only one place left to go

One place left to go now

There's no way back from here, hold out

(There's just no way, there's just no way, there's just no way)

(Back from here on out)

Only one place left to go

(Only one place, only one place, only one place)

One place left to go now (Left to go now)

There's no way back from here, hold out

(There's just no way back, there's just no way back)

Only one place left to go down
