[Wingardium27]

"That boy, take me away, into the night,
Out of the hum of the street lights and into a forest,
I'll do whatever you say to me in the dark,
Scared I'll be torn apart by a wolf in mask of a familiar name on a birthday card."

- Daughter, 'Candles'

"Oh, clouds of time
Seem to rain on
Innocence left behind
And it never goes away.

Can you stay strong?
Can you go on?
Kristy, are you doing okay?
A rose that won’t bloom,
Winter’s kept you
Don’t waste your whole life trying
To get back what was taken away."

- The Offspring, 'Kristy, Are You Doing Okay?'

"You will bleed for what your hands have done,
You can't outrun your ending,
And I'll get well long before you let yourself,
I may forgive you, but you never will.

I will not bend until I break, how much can one bruised body take?
Just not enough to silence me, you're only a memory,
I'll scream these words 'til they come true, then I will think no more of you,
Look back on what I'm going through, this isn't my identity.

And I told you, I told you, you had no right,
How damaged you must be,
Watch you panic, it's tragic, you'll carry this for life,
You have my sympathy."

- Icon For Hire, 'Only a Memory'

All three songs make me cry whenever I hear them - they remind me of my sexual assault 😧
