Disregard Your Advice

You expect me to forget
All the threats you spoke,
Hardly able to stand erect
Slow poison coursing through veins,
Words which still hurt sometimes
When I disregard your advice....
Yes, I still remember it all:
I didn't, couldn't, bury those times
With liquid fire or medicine shows;

You wanted me to forget
To pretend it never happened,
Love as holes in the walls
Made during heat-of-passion,
Bruises which still hurt sometimes
When I disregard your advice....
Yes, I still remember it all:
I didn't, couldn't, bury those crimes
With liquid fire or medicine shows;

You asked me to forget
All those late nights of yours,
No food to eat, not a crumb
Until you decided on last-call,
Pangs which still hurt sometimes
When I disregard your advice....
Yes, I can't help remembering:
I wouldn't, shouldn't, bury those mines
With liquid fire or medicine shows;

You were hoping I'd forget
Those times you brushed me off,
Hurricane civil-war in the house
I couldn't take it anymore,
Gusts which still hurt sometimes
When I disregard your advice....
Yes, I still remember it all:
I couldn't, wouldn't, blur those lines
With liquid fire or medicine shows.
