Blame

Collective Soul · Discipled Breakdown [1997]

You pushed me down

For all the world to see

I guess that's your price for

My loyalty

So while you're tasting the sin

And swallowing the pain

Don't look at me to take your blame



When you're willing to render

To the guilt you concede

When truth is your reason

Then lay the blame on me

When you unveil a conscience

And with peace you agree

When love is your constant

Then lay the blame on me



You lay me out

In hopes that I'd wilt away

But strength rained down

And love provided shade

So while the pageant of lies

Still glow from your tongue

Don't blame me for your Kingdom come



When you're willing to render

To the guilt you concede

When truth is your reason

Then lay the blame on me

When you unveil a conscience

And with peace you agree

When love is your constant

Then lay the blame on me



Question your answers

Your truth has no anger

Gather up your words
