I am the bullet
In the back of an honest man
I am the skid marks
Streaking 'round the bend
I am the seashore
Footprints in the sand
I am the cigarette
To calm a shaky hand
They'll never pin it all on me
But I can't hide my sins from thee
Take it from my flesh
Take it from my flesh
Their eyes upon me
As I walk the street
Can't they see the guilt
That festers underneath
His son came asking
Was I there that night
The truth it burns my soul
But I keep my lips sealed up
Tight
Shake your shame
Accept the blame
You're hiding in vain
You know you really oughta
Shake your shame
Accept the blame
You're hiding in vain
You know you really oughta
Shake your shame
Accept the blame
You're hiding in vain
You know you really oughta
Shake my shame
Accept the blame
But I can't hide my sins from me
Gray September
Raindrops 'pon my head
Ain't been a year
Since he tumbled from this ledge
Could seek forgiveness
Peace I just might find
But this weary heart would rather
Keep the secret mine
Take it from my flesh
Take it from my flesh
