“When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.”
-Patrick Rothfuss
lyrics
And I'm still searching / Sifting through, living past / Reliving those moments in attempts to recreate / This daily consistency fills my lungs with water / Fills my head with apathy killing the charismatic young boy at heart / That age of ever-wonder and fascination / There's a ghost living inside of my head / I'm holding on to what once was / And I can still see that boy / Running past my maturing horizons / Holding on to something that isn't there / That simplistic nature of living that we all once knew so well / A boy and his kite / Felt like he could conquer all / It was once so easy / We were all once so young //

Secret Shame’s breakthrough debut gets a series of reworks, plus an acoustic take on “Dark” from vocalist Lena Machina. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 11, 2020
On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
