I wanna live, wanna to live the good life, leave, love
Queen Earth, be my ground
And every road my long legs walk down, I get found
The dead Earth, be my soft bed, give me safety, give me a crown
I listen to the creatures ’til I hear that sound

How can I sleep in the wake of your night moves?
Now that I’m up, can I tell you that you make me, ohh?

I won’t wait another day, won’t wait another day
I won’t wait ’til you come my way, won’t until you come my way
‘Cause I know I’m chasin’ down my grave, know I’m chasin’ down my grave
And I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me
I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me

Sing my song about the ways I keep on doin’ you wrong
And keep my heart close to the fire, so I don’t thaw
I count the spots along your arms, so I remember this
I feel the weight of time and hold back the minute

How can I sleep in the wake of your night moves?
Now that I’m up, can I tell you that you make me, ohh?

And all of the ways you are make it unfair
But now that we’re playin’ for truth, I’ma pick dare
And all of the ways you are make it unfair
And all of the words that I have will be yours to bear

And I won’t wait another day, won’t wait another day
I won’t wait ’til you come my way, won’t until you come my way
‘Cause I know I’m chasin’ down my grave, know I’m chasin’ down my grave
And I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me
And I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me
And I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me

I dream of you
Moment I can feel you there
I can hold you
But sometimes there’s a shift in the motion
I can’t keep you near, just stand in motion

Can I count on you?
Can I count on you?
You’re my only virtue

Inner demons
That I can’t seem to push aside
I can’t stop it
And that’s why I need you here
I am no good but you steer me clear of my bad oceans

Can I count on you
To be there with me now?
I can’t bear the thought
Of losing you somehow
Please hold down the phone
Since I am not around
Can I count on you
To be there with me?
You’re my only virtue

Now I may not deserve you
But I can not do without you
Didn’t know what I had lost
You are my elevation
You’re the closest thing to heaven
If you hadn’t caught me
Then where am I meant to fall?
Moments I can feel you
Hold you in my arms
Feels as forgetting from

Can I count on you?
Can I, can I, can I count on you?
You’re my only virtue
Count on you, count on you

I know you’re walking through hell
But it’s just me here, no one else
You can crumble, I don’t mind
The broken bones we carry, are hard to hide

There’s cracks on the walls that are holding your heart
I want you to know you can pull them apart

Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
We’re the pieces that make a whole, beautiful, beautiful
So rip your heart wide open
Let mе see your scars
Every battle wound makes you who you arе
Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

I don’t care I’m torn and worn out from keeping it all inside
Avoiding the hurt and pain, letting their words skin me alive
But I won’t bleed with shame
Cause every time that I break
There’s more light flowing into my veins

Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
We’re the pieces that make a whole, beautiful, beautiful
So rip your heart wide open
Let me see your scars
Every battle wound makes you who you are
Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

There’s cracks on the walls that are holding your heart
I want you to know you can pull them apart

Falling, falling to the ground
Falling into sound
Always numb
Always in another world I found

Do you see what I see?
Or am I incomplete?
Falling stars
Healing all the scars inside your heart

Heal it all
Heal it all
Heal it all
Heal it all
Heal it all
Heal it all
Heal it all
Heal it all

Falling, falling to the ground
Falling into sound
Always numb
Always in another world I found

Do you see what I see?
Or are we incomplete?
Falling stars
Healing all the scars inside your heart

From the moment you dream,
It’s not always as it seems.
If you still believe,
It’s all you need.
When you give you feel more alive.
When you love you step into the light.
Standing on the edge you are part of me
And you leave the past behind.

Let it all rewind,
Let it out.
Let it all rewind,
Moving on.
Let it hurt, hurt.
Let it all rewind,
Moving on.

In the end
Time is like a night.
In the mind
Time is like a knife.
Sending them off the drop
Like an echo.
Orbiting like a satellite.

Let it all rewind,
Let it out.
Let it all rewind,
Moving on.
Let it hurt, hurt.
Let it all rewind,
Moving on.

Soundtrack to This Is Not Revenge by Romilly King

It was hard to find a song for this book. The songs about Stockholm Syndrome I found didn’t feel right. They were too negative, mostly about feeling used and abused in a relationship. I wanted a song that felt more positive because for all the wrongness of his methods, Gil had good intentions. He really wanted to protect Leo.

I finally picked Safety by Yoke Lore because it’s a song about protection. There’s a spiritual aspect to it that I relate to how Gil sees the world as well as a part that talks about not wanting to be let go which I relate to Leo.

“You are as perfect as all the seven days of creation, god must have loved it / Salt leaves and door screens, blood bed and night screams / I’ll be your safety, if you’ll be my safety / But soon I will try to fly out and leave you / But please don’t believe me, tie weights to my feet”
