Shame (feat. Josh Garrels)

You fly in circles around my head
While I sit on the edge of my bed
I cry, oh, what have I done again?
'Cause I'm 'bout to hate who I am
'Cause I'm 'bout to hate who I am

I chase the moment that when I had it I felt alive
But now that the thrill is gone
I feel dead inside
I feel like everyone know the secrets I wanna hide
And every time they ask me how I'm doing
I just say: I'm fine
Too embarrassed to share it or maybe too much pride
I create my own prison, holding the keys inside
Punishing myself for all of these crimes
And I'm trying to convince God that I'm not a waste of His time
What's wrong with me?
Am I defective?

I keep on making a mess
Why can't I ever get it together?
Soon people gon' find out
I'm not what they expected
They see who I really am then I end up rejected
I try to stand tall, but these knees are collapsing
'Stead of asking for help these apps'll distract me
So lonely, but so many people a friend of me
While I post, I hope one day to be happy as I pretend to be

You fly in circles around my head
While I sit on the edge of my bed
I cry, oh, what have I done again?
'Cause I'm 'bout to hate who I am
'Cause I'm 'bout to hate who I am

Uh, I was thirteen the first time my momma caught me watching porn
She started screaming
She couldn't believe her last born
Was dabbling in something so destructive
I wish I could have said it was my last time, but nah, it wasn't
And the more I thought about it, the more I got bothered
These women I'm objectifying are somebody's daughters
I really never thought I had a problem till it followed me to college
And I felt debilitated by its bondage, uh
Became a Christian, heard about God's power
Couldn't see it in my life
But I could tell you all about it

Overloaded with knowledge, making so little progress
Became a public figure, but my struggles were in private
Only started tasting freedom when I'm being honest
And I learn that when I am weak is when I'm seeing God the strongest
I know some people gon' be quick to throw stones
But I'll take all of those hits to know that you not alone
And after 28 years of life, I decided
Everybody's crooked, some just have a better job of hiding it
Oh, how good does freedom taste
I hope they gon' give me the forgiveness
They gon' need one day
I pray
