The first song from The Concrete Shamans’ HUNGRY GOSSIP project deals with the beginning stages of realizing why you are the way you are. It deals with overcoming victimization by realizing that there really is nowhere to blame.
The song is now available on the following streaming platforms below.
You took my heart
Turned it into a dagger
Taught me how to use it
To stab my own mind
You took my love
Taught me how to hide it
You took your sadness
And told me it was mine
You’re like an addict
Twisting my words
Erasing the difference between pleasure and hurt
You get excited, when I get low
I cannot hide it, but at least I can know.
I was encouraged
To be so bad
My addiction
to being sad
Was fostered
In my home
They always get you
To feel like you’re alone.
I tried to run
I tried to fight it
But you controlled my mind
You ensured freedom
Could not be mine.
But you
You’re like an addict
Twisting my words
Erasing the difference between pleasure and hurt
You get excited, when I get low
I cannot fight it, but at least I can know.
And me, now I know
Now I know.
now I, now I know.
But me, now I know.
Now I know.
Now mothafucka I know.
These chains, I can’t seem to break
They’re finally beginning to shake
The image of you that lives in my brain
I’m putting it in a ditch, covered by rain
I’m disarming the mines
You put in my mind
One red wire cut away
I am crossing the lines, putting my childhood behind.
I will be brave, brave enough to face the pain
And erase the damage left in your wake.
And erase the damage left in your wake.
Erase the damage left in your wake.
Im opening my eyes
And I can see you
It’s no excuse
For what you do
But believe me I know where you’re coming from
It could’ve been me but I held my tongue
I realized that it’s no good to run
You were just like me
A kid trying to have fun
But you got broken before you could love.
I don’t mean to cut you in this way
But I will not end up like you.
Because
You’re like an addict
Twisting my words
Erasing the difference between pleasure and hurt
You get excited, when I get low
I cannot hide it, because now I know.
Now I know
Now I know.
Yeah
Now I know, now I know
Yeah
If you think this song is about you, it probably is
Yeah you can be blameless
Even if it’s shameless
I thought it would be painless
But now I know.
Yeah, You are blameless
You’re an angel, just like Satan is
The pain was worth it
Because
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
Fuck you bi-
