A Bitter Shame

from Hollow Verse 7" by Stillglow

/

lyrics

I am living with sorrow perched on tightly drawn lips. It waits for a breath, or a kiss, to steal inside and claim my chest. So my mouth stays shut, but words still gather at the tip of my tongue like a restless soldier holding a loaded gun. It’s such a struggle to endure the simple act of living. Each day I get more angry and a little more bitter. I could dig a hole: a filthy bed. If I’m not happy then I’d rather be dead.

We believe in peace, but we can’t find the means.

I tried to fill my heart with the blood of Rock & Roll. I tried to fill my soul with sex, and booze, and gold. Oh, but nothing made me happy. Only God can save my wretched heart.

Misery, and shaky knees, and shameful deeds left only guilt and secrecy. I am weak, please strengthen me. Forgive me…I will not become what they say I should be.

My God, I know that I should be the better melody. My song will please your ears. I’ll make a noise for everyone to hear.
