Give it here I’m feeling it, tasting it, drinking it
Second-hand and broken down
I found it in an airport lounge
peeled it up off of the ground,
it was trampled flat and stained
Took it out into the light,
gave it love, made it right
thought of all the ways
I ’ve tried to hide away my shame
My shame, my shame
The quality of my demands
has changed of late, I understand
some dreams can take you by the hand
then wrap you up in chains
Once I built a pretty room,
Cared too much of pleasing you
I think I’m finally cutting through
these iron bars of shame
My shame, my shame
Give it here, I’m feeling it, tasting it, drinking it
I wanna swim in it, live in it, give in to it,
then give it up
Give it here, I'm hearing it, seeing it, touching it
I wanna swim in it, live in it, give in to it,
then give it up
The fault-line in my womanhood,
The pain I never understood
The bad that crouched beneath the good
and didn’t have a name
The sweet that left a bitter taste
The love that sometimes turned to hate
The things I never could escape,
I 'm face to face with shame
My shame, my shame
Give it here, I’m feeling it, tasting it, drinking it
I wanna swim in it, live in it, give in to it,
then give it up
Give it here, I'm hearing it, seeing it, touching it
I wanna swim in it, live in it, give in to it,
then give it up
