And you'll stand in the cold while he has a smoke / Under the glow of the warm street light / And you'll watch the snow fall as it lands upon your coat / The one you got your senior year / How much you've grown and how hard you've worked / How your thoughts have changed / Now travel back to the days spent alone / Pacing the isles of a grocery store / You remember the day that she picked you up / In her friends blue mustang / You don't remember the drive / Just the way that it felt to feel her hand on your lap and the lump in your throat / And for a second you think to yourself why even try / He puts out his cigarette and you walk inside / You take a seat at the table / And brush the cold from your body / You remember the photographs you took that day / The day she met you at the top of the hill / Near the dirt road and you think of how selfish it was to ignore the world / And let the fear of the unknown destroy the comforts of home / Don't let yourself forget you'll always have your friends / Don't let yourself forget we are nothing without family / The taste of coffee as it slides past your lips / Gentle conversation going ear to ear / Make due while you can because you'll feel it again / You remember the photographs that you took that day / The day she met you at the top of the hill / Near the dirt road and you think / How selfish it was to ignore the world / And let the fear of the unknown destroy the comforts of home / Don't let yourself forget you'll always have your friends / Don't let yourself forget we are nothing without family //

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
