A one-way ticket to a place that's cold and ill

The following twisted dream is what keeps me in this shell

Could have been a doctor, or a Harvard priest

But I wound up being a freak like me



Shame, nothing you can do to hide

Shame, just a little pain inside

Shame, you throw your life away

If I'm drowning, so are you



A secret life, a sacred light, it powers me

I sleep at night with my head hung in misery

A true romance, a deadly dance

It's all means to an end

To find you're sleeping with your only friend



Shame, nothing you can do to hide

Shame, just a little pain inside

Shame, you throw your life away

If I'm drowning, so are you



Tick tock, tick tock

What will you do?

Tick tock, all this is true

Tick tock, tick tock

It's always been you

Tick tock, tick tock

No Jesus loves you



Shame, nothing you can do to hide

Shame, just a little pain inside

Shame, you throw your life away

If I'm drowning, so are you
