Song or music video: Pet by A Perfect Circle

Listen/watch link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrEP3RPgEao

Lyrics: https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858489517/

Additional prompt: "Pay no mind what other voices say / They don't care about you / Like I do." The sexiest song ever written about putting your head in the sand and ignoring an increasingly bad (political) situation. Spin this into an intimate relationship (romantic? codependent? familial? sexy???) & I'll love you forever. I'd especially love a self-aware PoV, someone that hears the words and chooses to stay, safe and ignorant.

Bonus: APC has a version of this song called Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythms Of The War Drums which goes harder and darker: music video (CW overt political imagery) / lyrics. Feel free to take inspiration!

Warnings: Lyrics imply abuse and may evoke (2000-era) politics.
