Analysis of Stockholm Syndrome
Cover my mouth
Wrap me in a cloth
Throw, me in a trunk
Yell, tell me...I'm no good
Starve me...withhold, water
Until, I break
When I wake
Afraid, I hurt you
I crawl back
When I fight
I feel guilty
You need me
Please, forgive me
Am I cruel?
Here, let me please you
I don't want you to feel defeat
Without you I can't sleep
When I wake
Afraid, I hurt you
I crawl back
When I fight
I feel guilty
You need me
I'm sorry...I never meant to run
I know...
Loving myself is wrong
When I wake
Afraid, I hurt you
I crawl back
When I fight
I feel guilty
You need me
