Ghost of Shame

Nick Stock
----------

A shadow hidden deep within
Can't hide from me, I know your sins
I'm the nagging voice that never fades
With you always through your days
A memory you try to hide
But I know where it's not hard to find

With you in your darkest hour
Your guilt just gives me so much power
Can you feel me?

I'm the footsteps that wake you at night
Follow wherever you take flight
Then I'll cut through your dreams with this jagged knife
Because it's the past that always helps destroy your life

But you put on your mask
And it's such a false veneer
But the mirror always shows what's here
Can you feel me?

A needle that you can never find
'til one day it stabs you in your mind
it makes you jump and it makes you swear
however fast you turn, I'm never there

And all the secrets hidden deep
are painted on your face so clear
The ghost of shame
Is the brand you wear
Can you feel me?
