Blame



Everybody needs someone to blame.
Night and day, searching for what is the truth.
Their screams are chanting my name.
Are they angry or just scared little youths ?

Maybe its my fault for taking the mantle.
I'm unsure of what lies ahead.
My heart grows heavy, is this to much too handle ?
My self-esteem shot dead.  

Should i be at fault after trying...
For taking up a role without knowing the consequences.
Living in constant pressure...they would say I'm lying.
This is what i get for taking down my defenses.

I understand, but being scared has made you blind to see.
But if you ever need someone to blame, put the blame on me.
