No Shame
Echoes of Betrayal: Unveiling the Bitter End in John Newell's 'No Shame'
Lyrics
You'd walk through hell and back again to recount my every sin
You would go through extreme difficulties to recall and highlight all my wrongdoings
If my grief cost you a cup of blood you'd fill it to the brim
If my sorrow caused you any harm, you would willingly endure significant suffering
But now your bitter life beholds a bitter, bloated end
Your current miserable life faces an unpleasant and swollen conclusion
You ask of me once more to extend my bitten-bloody hand
You are asking me once again to offer help despite past conflicts
But I say
Do you feel no shame
Are you not experiencing any remorse or guilt?
'Cause that spark of trust meant everything
The trust we had was crucial, and you have only brought negativity
And all you did was bring the rain
Your actions have only caused trouble and difficulty
Like a ghost that lives forever in the corner of your eye
Similar to a persistent ghost, always present but never fully seen
A shadow only moving when it's just out of sight
A shadow that moves only when it remains unnoticed
I hope it haunts your every memory to torture and remind
I wish for this presence to torment and serve as a reminder in your memories
And beg my own forgiveness for these demons that I hide
I seek forgiveness for the internal struggles and demons I conceal
And I say
I'm wasting time on rage
I am spending time and energy on anger without any positive outcome
This hatred brings no difference now
This intense hatred is not making any difference now
So cut this seething ulcer from my brain
I want to remove this festering source of pain from my mind
It's just so hard not to blame
It is challenging not to hold you responsible
'Cause my heart it knows forgiveness
Although my heart understands forgiveness, it darkens when your name is mentioned
But it blackens at the mention of your name
Do you feel no shame
Are you not feeling any remorse or guilt?
Yeah you cut down, I shake you off
You may try to bring me down, but I will resist
But your hooks they dig in just the same
Your influence remains strong despite my efforts to shake it off
I'm wasting time on rage
I am investing time and emotion in anger
You lock me in, I'll rise above
Even if you confine me, I will overcome and break free
And break this brittle steel of your cage
I will break the fragile barriers of your control
Do you feel no shame
Are you not feeling any remorse or guilt?
