Stockholm Syndrome
I still remember lying curled on my bed
With my face in my pillow and my heart filled with dread
Because I'm independent and each time I defy
You denounce all my value and you tell me that I'm killing you
It always feels like something is wrong
But you're my only one and this is where I belong
And you sing me lullabies and stroke my head
But I can't help but feel that someday you will kill me
We love each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
We need each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
We love each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
When does a family quit the guise of sanctity?
We love each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
We need each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
We love each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
When does a family quit the guise of sanctity?
I still remember crying no, no, no!
As you read through my emails telling me I should go
See a counselor or something that would fix up my head
Because I was so abusive and you feel like I am killing you
It always feels like something is wrong
But you're my only one and this is where I belong
And you sing me lullabies and stroke my head
But I can't help but feel that someday you will kill me
We love each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
We need each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
We love each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
When does a family quit the guise of sanctity?
We love each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
We need each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
We love each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
When does a family quit the guise of sanctity?
I still remember when you thought I was cheating
With a girl from the venue though she wasn't a lesbian
And you pulled out a knife and no I couldn't believe it
And yet nothing escalated so the memory's defeated
You'd imagine that I wouldn't want it anymore
There's a root deep in my childhood that is keeping score
It'll never let me win the way I need to now
And there's nothing I can do and yeah it really fucking kills me
We love each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
We need each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
We love each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
When does a family quit the guise of sanctity?
We love each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
We need each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
We love each other but it's Stockholm syndrome
When does a family quit the guise of sanctity?
