Shame - Petal

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

but she’s so goddamn loyal

and you’ve heard some sounds

unhuman come out of her mouth

the locked door open and check and you can’t get out

did you wanna get out?

maybe like a piece of seaglass

she’ll smooth out all of her edges

and become gracefully transparent

taken from the world into the sea

returned with life and history

there’s not many who would stay

so you will

but she’s so goddamn loyal

and you’ve heard some sounds

unhuman come out of her mouth

the locked door open and check and you can’t get out

did you wanna get out?

maybe like a piece of seaglass

she’ll smooth out all of her edges

and become gracefully transparent

taken from the world into 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
