Cement Shoes
I stalked serenity with blind obsession
And found possession as I lost control
The secret vice that proclaimed my freedom
Is now a slavery that's all my own
My own, my own, my own
I'm powerless to this voice
I'll never prevail alone
Desperate, we will proclaim
That on our knees, we're not ashamed
So we bow it to, bow it to, kneel before you
Just like a child here, I'm not ashamed
No, we're not ashamed
And so in urgency we now concede
That we are helpless in this undertow
Cause in surrender now, there just might be
A new serenity that's all my own
And found possession as I lost control
The secret vice that proclaimed my freedom
Is now a slavery that's all my own
My own, my own, my own
I'm powerless to this voice
I'll never prevail alone
Desperate, we will proclaim
That on our knees, we're not ashamed
So we bow it to, bow it to, kneel before you
Just like a child here, I'm not ashamed
No, we're not ashamed
And so in urgency we now concede
That we are helpless in this undertow
Cause in surrender now, there just might be
A new serenity that's all my own
