Lyrics

Shame
J. Faulkner

Raised up from this paper bed
I tread the sidewalks like the night before
Cut in quarters I can feel the blow
But I hide behind it all

I ain’t one for gambling
Yet I roll the dice and on the edge I stand
Feeling like a dead man
As I steal the streets
Like the darkest nights
Searching for my shame

Lord knows
I can not stand this place
But with a little help you could draw me out
These ten drinks they couldn’t hide my fate
As I feel the kiss of a hardwood floor

I ain’t one for gambling
Yet I roll the dice and on the edge I stand
Feeling like a dead man
As I steal the streets
Like the darkest nights
Searching for my shame

Even though it pains me to say this
Well, I took you for a ride
I just can not be sure to know how it felt to you
wont you take me there
I wanna feel it too

I ain’t one for gambling
Yet I roll the dice and on the edge I stand
Feeling like a dead man
As I steal the streets
Like the darkest nights
Searching for my shame
