Here I am again / Best it seems I'll ever get / I've done this to myself / And I can't seem to escape / Escape this darkness that dwells within my heart / A darkness so profound that I can barely see the light / A light that once led me / Once bound us together / Intertwined together fighting this as one / So where is my light? / Where have you gone, my light? / I have learned to come to terms with this gaping hole within my chest / No amount of love can fill this / I've learned to come to terms with all the choices I have made / And I am content with my grief / It's taken four years to realize / I cannot fill this hole with another person / I've lost so many loved ones in my destructive search for meaning / I can only apologize for all of the relationships I've ruined / All the friendships that I've killed / And all the bridges that I've burned / This is a battle that I will not win / This is a war that will never end / This is my struggle and I will not give in / This is not the end, my friends / I promise / This is love //
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
