about

‘Shame’ is about resilience and strength in the face of adversity. It recognizes the mark your experiences leave on you and the help you need sometimes (friends, whiskey) when your past catches up with you.

lyrics

I remember when I was ten years old.
Mister with the shame
Came around to sow his sorrow.
But sorrow don't grow here.

Oh, nah nah.
Oh, no sir.
Just you keep on the far side.
Keep out of my light.

Gather up some friends.
In the end they're all that
Really get you through.
Hallelujah for the good ones.
And when the night comes,
Beat your big drum.

Oh, nah nah.
Oh, no sir.
Just you keep on the far side.
Keep out of my light.

Nights, my blood pumps nothing but shame.
Just boom boom boom.
On nights my blood pumps nothing but shame,
Just boom boom boom,
All I do is whisper, they're with me,
Filling up the emptiness with company and whisky.
Muster just a whisper, they're with me.

I remember when I was ten years old.
Mister with the shame
Came around to sow his sorrow.
But sorrow don't grow here.

Oh, nah nah.
Oh, no sir.
Just you keep on the far side.
Keep out of my light.

Nights, my blood pumps nothing but shame.
Just boom boom boom.
On nights my blood pumps nothing but shame,
Just boom boom boom,
All I do is whisper, they're with me,
Filling up the emptiness with company and whisky.
Muster just a whisper, they're with me.
