what do i remember?

i remember blue eyes

i remember the shuffling of feet

i remember loud voices arguing on my behalf

"she refused to hitch a ride in my truck, rude bitch"

"good...for...art"

"she's fucking mine!"

what do i remember?

i remember tight grip

i remember dim lights

i remember the smell of your cigarette

"i'm not gonna let them hurt you, darlin'. that's my job."

what did i forget?

i forgot why you took me

i forgot why i didn't run faster

i forgot the way it felt to be free, truly free

"home?"

"yeah Vincent. He's gonna keep her. This is her home now."

what did i forget?

i forgot who i was before

i forgot who i was gonna be

i forgot who i was supposed to be, before you

"soon you'll beg for me and call me all you've ever wanted"

some call it stockholm syndrome

i call it a rose with thorns

some say i should've run

i say "i love him"

some call it toxic

i call it sacrificial

some say i'm going to hell

i say as long "as he walks with me"

some call you heartless

i call you wounded

i'm an irreverent bastard

i'll forever worship you
