lyrics

The shame of it
it tortured me
a private little hell
I lost myself
I got real small
and said I'd never tell.

How do I get out of it? Spiralling in the doom and gloom?

The life I live
it's no one else's,
I know it's just my own.
What I do with it?
A pilgrimage
to find I'm not alone.
My lonliness
it serves me well
like a scallop shell from home.
A journey stretched out
step by step
til I feel it in my bones.

How do I get out of it? Spiralling alone in a room
Thought I was done with it? Spiralling in the doom and gloom

Who's gonna save you if you don't save yourself
Who's gonna make you choose you, choose yourself
Who's gonna take you by the hand, understand
You've got to choose you, choose you, choose yourself

If I waited another day to be vulnerable and say
that's the last time I'll betray
When I get to choose
I will choose the truth.
