Blame It On Me

from CIRCU5 by CIRCU5

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This limited-edition CD package includes a lavish 28-page booklet, 'secret' document, and high-quality digital download card. Featuring photography by Lou Dommett Young.

    "Debut album of the year - it's absolutely stunning." The Titus Jennings Experience

    "Steve Tilling has made a compelling debut. It's a tight, dark intelligent album… albeit one plentifully and carefully decorated with accessible hooks and melodies... the depth of Tilling's wonderlust is his most progressive asset." Prog Magazine

    "Steve Tilling has given us a musical spectacle that will stand the test of time. Great songwriting combined with superb musicianship and a concept that works, CIRCU5 is a triumph." Progradar

    "CIRCU5 would unquestionably have been a huge ‘hit’ back in the day. And unlike some of Tilling’s prog contemporaries, who have a tendency to overegg – and often overcook – the pudding, it is equally palatable today. Impressive." Get Ready To Rock

about

They told me everything. They had to go. Too many years, too many lies. Is this where it ends?

lyrics

Shut me down and walk away, lock me out another day
I contemplate the path that stretches out before me
Twisting on the tourniquet, a superficial power play
Amputate the past and everything I could be

I won't make a final plea, I won't change your mind, so blame it on me, say it's all me
I don't need your sympathy, I'll just take my time, so blame it on me, say it's all me

Questioning my sanity, a symptom of my vanity
Take the stand as witness for the prosecution
Fake a face of empathy, illusion of humanity
I command the forces of my retribution

You can have the final say but words mean nothing and now you have to pay
No one will hear you pray, too late for waiting, your chance has come and gone

Shut me down
