The opener to “Forced Witness” tells the story of a man, presumably Alex, who is in an abusive relationship with a woman named Candy May. He is deeply in love with May, and takes her abuse as an expression of her extreme affection.
[Verse 1]
Candy May
I think I'm dying
Yeah, 'cause I'm frail and I'm tired
And I constantly complain about the pain I'm in
But Candy May
She knows me better, yes, she knows my ways
She has seen me naked, she knows I'm packing heat
She has a way of saying "Baby, come to me" complete
[Chorus]
She's my sweet, sweet Candy May
Got me stuck and I want to stay
But I never wanted to look sharp
Down the barrel of a broken heart
So I live with a deep regret
Of all I do on the internet
And I'm filled with a dirty white guilt
She's a bride and adorned in frills
[Post-Chorus]
She loves me still
[Verse 2]
Sweetest eyes
So dark and shining
They see a shadow in their vision
Then it fades and then it dies, sweetest eyes
But Candy May
Don't think I'm lying
I got a flavour in my mouth, it never truly goes away
That's Candy May
[Verse 3]
So when you see me and Candy May
And we're walking down the street at a mean pace
And she is crying out, "You f'n lonely man"
"You worthless piece of shit"; you all wouldn't understand
'Cause Candy May
I know she loves me in her own true way
You call it as you see it, you think you know the score
But you just never had a girl like Candy May before
[Chorus]
She's my sweet, sweet Candy May
Got me stuck and I want to stay
But I never wanted to look sharp
Down the barrel of a broken heart
So I live with a deep regret
Of all I do on the internet
And I'm filled with a dirty white guilt
She's a bride and adorned in frills
She's my sweet, sweet Candy May
Got me stuck and I want to stay
But I never wanted to look sharp
Down the barrel of a broken heart
So I live with a deep regret
Of all I do on the internet
And I'm filled with a dirty white guilt
She's a bride and adorned in frills
She's my sweet, sweet Candy May
Got me stuck and I want to stay
But I never wanted to look sharp
Down the barrel of a broken heart
So I live with a deep regret
Of all I do on the internet
And I'm filled with a dirty white guilt
She's a bride and adorned in frills
[Post-Chorus]
She loves me still
