"Shame" lyrics

"Shame"

Blame the world around you for your lack of self-control
Can't feel bad when you're the one who always ends up in the hole
Insatiate and fill the void inside to compensate
For your inability to love, behind an absent gaze

Empty gallows, hollow soul
Forsaken actions take their toll
Empty gallows, hollow soul
Leeching off my spirit till there's nothing left to hold

If you're gonna play the victim, then play it all you want
So be it, well, so be it
Possessed by pity, spoiled, rotten to the core
Pathetic
You turn your back and run
You can't escape

Insatiate and fill the void inside to compensate
For your inability to love, behind an absent gaze

Take a look in the mirror laying in the hall
The pillow stain yellow, don't, don't you recall?
Don't you recall?

If you're gonna play the victim, then play it all you want
So be it, well, so be it
Possessed by pity, spoiled, rotten to the core
Pathetic
You turn your back and run

If you're gonna play the victim
So be it, well, so be it
Then play it all you want
Pathetic
You turn your back and run
You can't escape
