These words are all I can muster / I was always more bold in pen and paper / Because you can't hear my voice shake on a page / I'm scared I've gone too far / Once more lovers become strangers / Scarcely catching each others eye / My words to the wind / I hope they'll reach you somehow / My love wherever you are / I've learned / I've held myself accountable to every last mistake / And I'd rather go on alone then go on making some other person fit this shape / To make some other person cure the way that my heart aches / Where has love gone to rest / Or does she just sleep? / Is she ever present? / Will she ever return? / Or does she just sleep? / Love me or hate me I just want to know that you haven't forgotten me / That everything we were / That everything we are / That everything we ever will be will one day come full circle / I should have listen more I should have spoken less / I should have cared more I should have let myself regress / My love wherever you are //

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
