about

About
With a dark and angry tone, this song focuses in on a fictional story centered around sexual assault and suicide. This story is an amalgam of different sexual assault cases that have come before the court and the court of public opinion.

lyrics

Lyrics
You showed up at a party to see what you could find
You saw her on the dancing floor, 'neath the festal lights
Only hours later, you were standing at her door
You were so excited, couldn't wait a minute more

But much to your chagrin, she only said goodnight
After all these hours and all your work, she didn't ask you inside
But much to her surprise, you weren't in the asking mood
Dessert wasn't offered, so you took forbidden fruit

No, it was not about her, anyone could tell
You didn't take a moment to think of any but yourself

You became an animal, led by your desires
You say you couldn't stop them, but in truth, you didn't try
The truth is that we made you, though it doesn't change your fault
Still, we wouldn't tame you, lock you inside four walls

No, it was not about her, everyone could tell
We didn't take a moment to think of any but ourselves

You say boys will be boys, and girls will be girls
But he took that from her when he shattered her world
Though he broke her body, broke her spirit, he couldn't take her soul
For she would take it with her life when she couldn't break his hold
