[Verse]
Shame’s the shadow of a light long lost (oo-yeah!)
She whispers soft
Where love’s been tossed (say what?)
A silent echo
A ghostly sound
She lingers low
Where hearts are bound
[Chorus]
It’s fear with a mask
Oh
Can’t you see? (oh, can’t you see?)
Hidin’ the truth
Who we wanna be! (uh-huh!)
Shame's got a groove
But it cuts so deep
She’s the rhythm of the secrets we keep. (secrets we keep!)
[Verse 2]
She pulls the veil
Hides the face within
Covers the heart
Where love has been. (oo-wee!)
Like smoke in the air
She twists and turns
A fire of fear that forever burns
[Prechorus]
Oh
Don’t let her dance control your soul
Break free
Let the truth take hold!
[Chorus]
It’s fear with a mask
Oh
Can’t you see? (come on now!)
Hidin’ the truth
Who we wanna be! (yeah-yeah!)
Shame's got a groove
But it cuts so deep
She’s the rhythm of the secrets we keep. (oo-yeah, oo-yeah!)
[Bridge]
Why we hide
Why we run? (why we run?)
Chasin’ shadows
Blockin’ the sun! (blockin’ the sun!)
Peel it back
Let it fade
Face the truth
Don’t be afraid! (don’t be afraid!)
