Release the Shame

Twisted dark games 
You’ve got a pocket of names
Keep Switching to versions and claim
All your colors are the same
They all learned how to take the blame
And hang it on another door
Pretending to release the shame 
Oh innocent victims of the war!
While you live with the guilt of 
Losing something you loved
That never fought for your heart 
But you keep blurring that part 
For some reason you still ignore…
I guess some just enjoy the salty black tears of angels 
And others live by the cuts of their own knives so painful
Both we can’t run from or hate 
You just have to find your gate 
choose a game, one name to claim 
It might take forever 
Yet this is how you release the shame
