Surrogate - Shift The Blame lyrics

rate me

This tragic thing will spread it's tragic wings<br />

And float into the sky<br />

Where people in this town will turn a prying eye<br />

<br />

The confidence you once held in your friends<br />

Oh, crumbled into sand<br />

Shattering any hope to be ever again<br />

<br />

The people in this town, they never sleep<br />

They're careful not to keep<br />

Secrets that involve anyone but them<br />

<br />

And they will run their mouths behind your back<br />

All for one good laugh<br />

And deconstruct your life, you'll never get back<br />

<br />

With monumental failure, comes monumental fame<br />

I think it's more than you can take<br />

With monumental failure, comes monumental shame<br />

So I think it's time you shift the blame<br />

<br />

The keepers of the bars downtown on Main<br />

Know your story but not your name<br />

They've heard a hundred times from the flies that live there<br />

<br />

Is that the kind of life you want to lead<br />

The friends you want to keep?<br />

The stories you want told to everyone back home<br />

<br />

With monumental failure, comes monumental fame<br />

I think it's more than you can take<br />

With monumental failure, comes monumental shame<br />

So I think it's time you shift the blame<br />

<br />

Even with your unrelenting eyes<br />

On the landscape, oh, so sleepy<br />

Accidents with no reason or rhyme<br />

Seem to have your name and number, oh<br />

<br />

So I think it's time you shift the blame
