Rett Madison - Shame Is a River lyrics

Shame is a river when I cross it's waters
I always sink hope's on the other side
But, I got guilt tied like bricks to my feet

I was fifteen when I had my first drink
Numb on the sofa across from a shrink
Keeping my mouth shut and grinding my teeth
I got away as far as I could
But that didn't do me any good
This hurricane's within me

Love is a sunrise where's the light to
Eclipse my grief grace speaks in silence
I've been quiet but only hear my own screams

I was fifteen when I had my first drink
Numb on the sofa across from a shrink
Keeping my mouth shut and grinding my teeth
I got away as far as I could
But that didn't do me any good
This hurricane's within me

I'm a force of nature keep your saviors
There's no prayer see you reconcile me
Paint me a picture of what where I am
Finally cry myself clean show me a future
Of what where I am forgiven and free

Oh, no oh, no
Oh, no oh, no
