Shame and the Rain

Hello, Persephone and all you ghosts. Forever missing the Stolen parts of you, often long before we knew each other. (before we knew ourselves too)

So I ran faster
But you caught me here

Trip me up
Eat me up
Make me come to you

Stolen from my mother
Stolen and reborn to you

Stolen and reborn
Stolen and reborn

How many others?
Congregations bow to you
Trip them up
Eat ‘em up
Make them run from me

Stolen from my LOVEin’
Stolen and reborn to you

Stolen and reborn
Stolen and reborn

Will we ever get away?
Will we ever get away?
Run away (from you)
Will we ever get away?
Will we ever get away?
Run away (from you)

Will we ever get away?
Will we ever get away from you?

Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away…
