Shameful Emblem of My Past

How it feels to regret the mistakes you've made, and how people won't see past it.

Rancid, lucid tears of pain
My pure emblem of tragic shame
My little black sunshine, burning these scars
The theif of innocence lost in this war
My greatest high equated with your low
I have nothing to offer so what have you to show
The scarcity of truth drowned by past judgement
Memories of open wounds grieving with torment
The shadow of my previous life a true fantasy
But I know that's how you still think of me
You still see me as that monstrous menace
Can't you understand i'm trying to pay this penance
I wear this emblem with hostility and fear
A shameful past hidden with tears
