lyrics

Not one of your sisters had
A room of her own, so I wonder
What thoughts would form as they watched
The god draw close, then slip out from under

Her frail frame and mind
Can’t split fear
From the itch of envy.

Was their plight to endure
Was their plight to desire at the same time?

I trace the lines
And the pattern’s clear:
And contagion teaches all.

I trace the lines
And the pattern’s clear:
And contagion (and so on).

In what mirror in that room,
Could you see yourself and no one else?
Did the light contort in a spoon,
Or did it bend in yourself alone?

Her steel will and mind
Would break fear
From the itch of envy.

Forty-nine of them fell
To autopilot’s intent

What thing
Taught you?
To see
Feeling?
Fighting?

The pattern’s clear:
And contagion teaches all.
I trace the lines
And contagion teaches all.

contagion teaches all
contagion (and so on)
