Analysis of 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.
