Last September

o she can't remember
They said there's too much pain
It happened last September
From some familiar man

Why, d'she/he have to think about a plan
(And why, if she had been so kind and understanding)
To get away, fight and scream, a frantic plea against the pain
His momma didn't raise a man

He went and lost his temper
He went and lost his brain
Her tears brought his anger
It sent him in a rage

He's blind, what she wore, he said she planned it
He lied to himself, said she could have ran
She said no, he said yes, he took her down and choked her neck
His momma didn't raise a man

Darkest secrets get released
These manic pigs and their disease
He cries when he gets what comes his way
His momma didn't raise a man

Darkest secrets get released
These manic pigs and their disease
Why, d'she/he have to think about a plan
(And why, if she had been so kind and understanding)
To get away, fight and scream, a frantic plea against the pain

But life goes on, and so will she,
Getting stronger, shedding skin
Scrapes and scars will fade away
Those memories will always stay
