Shame Lyrics by Petal

Shame

2015

[Verse 1]
You've seen the spots on her back
You know the salt of her tears
The dull glow in your pocket is only ever a fear
That maybe sometimes it all does go wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
But she's so goddamn loyal
And you've heard some sounds
Unhuman come out of her mouth
The vault door opened and shut
And you can't get out
Did you wanna get out?

[Chorus]
Maybe like a piece of sea glass
She'll smooth out all of her edges
And become gracefully transparent
Taken from the world
Given to the sea
Returned with life and history
There's not many who would stay
So you will

[Pre-Chorus]
But she's so goddamn loyal
And you've heard some sounds
Unhuman come out of her mouth
The vault door opened and shut
And you can't get out
Did you wanna get out?

[Chorus]
Maybe like a piece of sea glass
She'll smooth out all of her edges
And become gracefully transparent
Taken from the world
Given to the sea
Returned with life and history
There's not many who would stay
There's not many who would stay
There's not many who would stay
So you will
