I want to keep the pace
 I want to figure it out
 I've got to do it this way
 If I don't, everything stops

 Have you ever really noticed the blanket of shame?
 From the torment and pain?
 As you realize that no one's ever been there
 Have you ever looked at the violence you hide?
 All the drowning inside?
 You can't escape, it's always been there

 I tear a hole inside my head to let the demons go
 I cut my flesh to purge the hatred from so long ago

 I want to keep the pace
 I want to figure it out
 I've got to do it this way
 If I don't, everything stops

 Have you ever really noticed the blanket of shame?
 From the torment and pain?
 As you realize that no one's ever been there
 Have you ever looked at the violence you hide?
 All the drowning inside?
 You can't escape, it's always been there

 Close my eyes, I go to sleep
 It's always there, I start to weep 
 (Repeated 8 times)

 Have you ever really noticed the blanket of shame?
