Shame Lyrics by Newdles

Abolition of Self

2016

[Intro]
They say you cover our nakedness
Well, why does the blood still pressure my skin?
Since the days of my youth, I've failed to produce
A character with a name I'm able to take pride in
And my emotions were punished when I told friends I loved them
Unaware of the standard my skeleton could practically reach
And they let me know
Father, forgive me I don't have a clue what I'm doing
When the shoves start pushing, I always end up choosing
Shame

[Verse]
Since the start in Eden's garden, we're flushed with regrets
Your glory departed, now daily we're guarding our shame
Vindicate us with love like only Your face will
Warm the lungs that perpetually exhale shame
Redeem our trespasses, be our dignity's catalyst
Inflate us with grace, our bodies can't handle this shame
So I appease my guilt and I cancel it out with sacrifice
I desperately plead this song to vainly make up for my shame
Our offenses offend us, alleviate the inner battle of
The paralyzed and value-barren, staring at the blackhole of shame
As if we don't feed on approval and teeter-totter on laughs
Could You liberate the joints of us spending our lives fearing shame?
We're losing hope in all that You promised
We look the same as the day that You bought us
Renew our minds, slacken the heartstrings on shame
When all souls hold grudges and remorse just doesn't cut it
Would You hold me? Tell me there's life after shame

[Outro]
Give me ribs that won't cave
Give me a head that won't bow when discouragement tramples me
For this shame is my brain's greatest weapon
Sustain my defense
Bolster my innards
Ensure me for today
Cause I know, God I know there's more than this shame
