Literature Text

I despise her, deceit incarnate, but I lack the cruelty to wish her harm
You're a villain, free to commit the sins that I can only dream about
So show me how it's done...

Let's pretend we don't see her
When you want me, don't ask for consent
Grab my wrist as I'm leaving
Then do what you do best:

Pull me close and kiss me while she is watching us
Leave a mark to let her know I'm yours now
Hold me down and take me in front of everyone
To hurt her just like she hurt me

If she asks you, tell her you don't recall me speaking of her – not even once
Spare no details describing how it felt to seize me like a flower and pluck my petals one by one

But these words give me nightmares
I regret even lifting my pen
Giving voice to my hatred
When I'd rather forget

Pull me close and kiss me while she is watching us
Leave a mark to let her know I'm yours now
Hold me down and take me in front of everyone
To hurt her just like she hurt me

I'll hold the knife, you guide my hand

I owe a lot to the album Burials by AFI -- it got me through probably the toughest break-up of my life and influenced the tone of this song. I wanted to take their song "I Hope You Suffer" a bit further, to "I Want to *Make* You Suffer (and I'm enlisting the help of my new vampire boyfriend)"
As for the title, I almost went with something else cause I didn't want people to make a mental association with Fifty Shades of Grey... but, in the end, I couldn't resist the AT reference.
Look forward to hearing this song at upcoming S.S. HANAMI shows. It's an upbeat EDM track with lots of glitter on it.
