Kelly Green Lyrics

I grew up with a sense of awareness

The slightest touch sent me spiraling

A sudden jolt

Another minor obsession

I never managed those efficiently

Bring me your shame and I'll hold onto it

I'll wrap it up and give it meaning

Think of me as your first aid kid

I'll turn the dead leaves back into Kelly Green

Entered the stage like a game show contestant

A twinkle in her eyes, an inherent loneliness

After she lost trudged home to the silence

Thinking of all the opportunities missed

Looking through news articles for the recent suspicions

The timeline speeds up in the day

Always talking bout the latest submission

With nothing memorable to say

Bring me your shame and I'll hold onto it

I'll wrap it up and give it meaning

Think of me as your first aid kid

I'll turn the dead leaves back into Kelly Green

Got home late from work last night

For the 5th night in a row

Freezing underneath the sheets

Grateful that there's no snow

Don't let the haunted voices just settle

Leave work where it left you

Put water in the kettle

And think of what represents you

Bring me your shame and I'll hold onto it

I'll wrap it up and give it meaning

Think of me as your first aid kid

I'll turn the dead leaves back into Kelly Green

I'll be your shame but I won't hold onto it

I'll wrap it up and give it away

Have you struggled with pain?

Wash yourself with it til you're clean

I'm starting over

I'm creating something different

Repainting the walls Kelly Green
