I've done things God should've questioned
But I don't care
I've seen things that made my flesh crawl
But I was young
I've said things that you believed in
But I don't mean
I heard things, one more confession that
Leaves me cold

My picture ashames you
My picture
My picture ashames me
My picture

This ain't love, this ain't affection
But you don't care
This ain't need, I'm not the fashion
So leave my heart
So good God were you mistaken
Now will I burn?
No more lies no more distraction
So pay you back

Religion ashames you
Religion
Religion ashames me
Religion

I'm lying shame on me
(secrets forever)
This disease shame on me
(secrets forever)
My memories shame on me
(secrets forever)
Abandon,abandon me
(secrets forever)

This fashion ashames you
This fashion
This passion ashames me
This passion

I'll never ashame you
I'll never ashamed me

A stranger, shame on me
(secrets forever)
Nostalgia, shame on me
(secrets forever)
Religion, shame on me
(secrets forever)
Abandon, abandon me

I've done things God should've questioned
But I don't care
