Tears Of My Own Shame

Queen of Hearts and Sister Vanity
Took me by the hand to show me royalty
In this castle so many things to see
And all I could become a knight wasted away

I said it's not any thing you did to me
It's not what you made me feel I did to you
I cry, angry that I played the fool
For these are the tears of my own shame

Even just a page I never thought to read
And the writing on the wall became a tapestry
The blues I felt, the reds they blinded me
And all the greens only taught me jealousy

I said it's not any thing you did to me
It's not what you made me feel I did to you
I cry, angry that I played the fool
For these are the tears of my own shame

And I am not what I care to be
And she is not what I came to see
And like some Shakespearean tragedy
That in the end I have to question... finally

I said it's not any thing you did to me
It's not what you made me feel I did to you
I cry, angry that I played the fool
For these are the tears of my own shame
