If Memory Serves Me

Background
"If Memory Serves" is an original song, and the first written by producer Shigamuri Nana. It tells the story of a serial killer (DEX), who's on trial, trying to justify why he turned into a murderer for himself.

Lyrics
Pounding footsteps echo closer Closing my eyes and ears and pretend to die Screaming crying dimming lighting Feeling and praying for him to spare her life

Sirens blaring, people staring Daddy's holding up a knife Guns are shot and daddy stops Right where he stood

Is he alright?

Mommy's nowhere to be seen Daddy's blood begins to gleam All I thought was "scream scream scream!" Now who's here to save me?

House to house they had be bouncing Nobody wanted the kid with a broken life War torn eyes before age nine Was far more than anybody was willing to try

No one liked me I was "creepy" All the kids paid me no mind What am I still even doing here? I shouldn't be alive...

Where's my mommy? Why'd she leave me? I can't bear to live this way Dear daddy, why didn't I die with you two back on that day?

If memory serves me That's why I am thirsty Always searching for blood But it's never enough

Pounding footsteps echo closer Closing my eyes and ears and pretend to die Screaming crying dimming lighting Feeling and praying for him to spare her life

No one liked me I was "creepy" Everyone thought I was sick "That's the weird kid. Just avoid him." "I heard he saw all of it"

And what followed, I couldn't say It was like I had blacked out When I came to, next thing I knew I was cuffed and on the ground

If memory serves me That's why I am thirsty Always searching for blood But it's never enough

If memory serves me I'm not really guilty Yes, my hands are filthy But the killer wasn't me

If memory serves me I was never really Bad from the beginning I am who they made me

If memory serves me You cannot convict me I plead insanity Take me to your jury
