lyrics

Talon earrings and precision scowl
Spiky Doc Martens and a false conclusion
One of these days I’m gonna tear your throat out
One of these days I’m gonna be reported
But until that time, my activity
Involves hostility tempered with acidity
Don’t go until you understand my identity

I forget myself when I listen to true crime

Bottle of Riesling and a bubbling tub
Vanilla candles and a podcast player
Scrub away depression under the suds
While I listen to the story of a co-ed slayer
But don’t think I’m going to render you vicious
Just because of the background to washing the dishes
Don’t go until you know it’s not a sickness

I forget myself when I listen to true crime

There’s a world inside my head where villains are thwarted
Where the victims of sadists don’t go unremembered
It’s reductive to say a human is a monster
Because to slay the monster you have to know the man

I forget myself when I listen to true crime
