Deepest Shame

There's no way back from here on out
Only one place left to go, one place left to go now

She's crashing like an aeroplane
From the sky, from the stormy rain
Another pilot, she's a flying egg
From a target, kamikaze, go up in flames
This life has taught her she must pay
Pay the price for her mistakes
I guess she only has herself to blame
And to her, that is the deepest shame

There's no way back from here on out
Only one place left to go, one place left to go now

She was once a princess
But now she's a mess
A fiend for a fix like the rest
Illusive sex and pocket less

But she was a sweet fiend, nevertheless
Back in the day

Abused as a child
She was always likely to end up this way
The past lived in the dark parts of her brain
And no heroin seemed to take away the pain

So she folded the fire and lit the flame
Inhale, exhale, out once again
She's on the game
The unit on her face and the standard going rate
Just not the name
If only herself to blame
She lives this hell
But there's a million other girls just like Michelle

Out in the streets with nothing else to sell
To these desperate males, have it in themselves, so

There's no way back from here on out
Only one place left to go, one place left to go now
There's no way back from here on out
Only one place left to go, one place left to go now

I've been walking along this dirty road
Been so long now and I just can't tell
If there's any way back the way I came
Though I've lost my path, it's the deepest shame
I've been dragging myself to the lowest of low
If there's such a way, I just don't know
The path I take is something I can't change
What's this in my way, it's the deepest shame

There's no way back from here on out
Only one place left to go, one place left to go now
There's no way back from here on out
Only one place left to go, one place left to go now
There's no way back from here on out
Only one place left to go, one place left to go now
There's no way back from here on out
Only one place left to go, one place left to go now
