Cam Sakkara - Shame Lyrics

Cover me
My body
Don't let me be exposed
Dress my vulnerability
In fancy clothes
Hide my hurt beneath empty words
While unspoken terms burn holes inside my worth
The silent plague
The silent killer
Pressure builds until I'm ready to erupt
Not the kind that forms diamonds in the rough
But the kind that tells diamonds they aren't enough
Oh, shame
Lord break
These chains
So I can dance in the rain
Lord take
This weight
And set me free from shame
Adam, Eve
Knowledge tree
Eating lies from the devil brought shame
Centuries of
Consuming deceit
Why do we still do the same
See, the Truth was sent to set you free
But your mind's a penitentiary
Locked inside your past
Those painful memories
Said, the Truth was sent to set you free
But you let two cents tell you you're unworthy
Loose change is starting to get heavy
Take a toll
And turn to shame
Lord break
These chains
So I can dance in the rain
Lord take
This weight
And set me free from shame
Makes you hide your mistakes
Out of pride
Out of fear that you'd be burned at the stake
Crucified
Cross your heart and hope to never awake
But Jesus already died
So that we could live a life
Free of shame
Lord break
These chains
So I can dance in the rain
Lord take
This weight
And set me free from shame
