"Life @ 11" lyrics

When the curtain falls it rolls, unwraps, reminds me
The person that I am.
I'm still afraid, ashamed, of what's behind me,
But you gave me the strength to stand.

Sh-sh-sh-shake it off go get the things you want.
I'll bottle the shame (bottle the shame).
Just sh-sh-shake it off, and no one will ever know (won't know).

I'm a slave to all these voices in my head,
And I'm afraid, I'm afraid of what they've said.
I'm a slave.

Sometimes when no one's left to listen I'll sit and argue with myself.
Say all the things I wish to tell you, without hurting someone else.
Sh-sh-sh-shake it off go get the things you want.
I'll bottle the shame (bottle the shame).
Just sh-sh-shake it off, and no one will ever know (won't know).

I'm a slave to all these voices in my head,
And I'm afraid, I'm afraid of what they've said.
I'm a slave to all these voices in my head,
And I'm afraid they'll walk with me until my end.

Stop!

Hey you, when'd ya get so cold? (when'd ya get so cold?)
Hey you, just do what you're told, do what you're told.
Hey you, you're gonna be a star.
As long as you'll let us we'll make you the person that you aren't.

Yeah!

I'm a slave to all these voices in my head,
And I'm afraid, I'm afraid of what they've said.
I'm a slave (I'm a slave) to all these voices in my head,
And I'm afraid (I'm afraid) they'll walk with me until my end.

Sh-sh-sh-shake it off go get the things you want.
I'll bottle the shame (bottle the shame).
