A Homage to a Shame Lyrics

Say one thing for sorrow; say nothing for joy
It's a piss over our parade, the devices you employ
Say one thing for sorrow; it never leaves me dry
As I beg, steal and borrow; there's no tears when I cry
But I try and try and try and try again; But I try and try and try and try againBut no, nothing can stop me, no, nothing at all
I'm the entrance and the exit, the clogging will make you stall
Now your conscience clear stall, now you've got so old
It's in the way you'll never wake up; in the way you feel the coldTime is running outLooks invent a felling in a meaningless exchange
It's a testament to perseverance; A homage to a shame
COVER YOUR MOUTHTime is running outLooks invent a felling in a meaningless exchange
It's a testament to perseverance; A homage to a shame
COVER YOUR MOUTHUndone and reckless is your mind
it's up to you; trust or not trust alone
COVER YOUR MOUTH AND HOLD IT, HOLD IT, HOLD IT
oh that sacred substance I crave;
is just another privilege I wave
HOLD IT, HOLD IT, F-F-F-FUCKIN' HOLD IT, HOLD IT, HOLD ITIt's power I am drawn to;
Its potency and flavour;

Drives me and ignites me;
Fuels a dirty secretWHY CAN'T I JUST TELL?
WHY CAN'T I JUST TELL THE TRUTH??
