Aftertaste - My Name Is Shame

i'm all alone with my thoughts and feeling lonely in this crowded room...just

how close are we to taking this too far?...gaze into the haze and find a

star...it's who we are

the day i was born they gave me a name

they slapped my ass and called me shame

i try to make a change, but it stays the same

my name is shame

if shame's a game this game is lame

born to succeed and choose to lose...i was so concrete when so

confused...poker faces beg - amuse us if you can...turning heads is dead...get

beneath our skin

gaze into the haze and find a star...gaze into the haze, it's who we

are...force a smile only when provoked...showing all your teeth to let them

know...cornered creatures jumping at the chance to self-preserve...the nerve

of self-defense
