Suffocating
I cannot breathe
Choking on anxiety
Is St. Cecilia
Warning me
I could lose myself
So easily
Cortisol raging
The demise of
My cathedral he seeks
Cortisol raging
He's ravenous
To control everything
Tempest dragging me
Down to somewhere
He's there
Tempest dragging me
Down to where
He'll watch me drown
He segregated me from me
Master of a quiet brutality
With St. Cecilia
Whispering
"Without a voice
He won't hear you scream"
Cortisol raging
Barely escaping
Barely can breathe
Cortisol raging
I must get to Indian country
Tempest dragging me
Down to somewhere
He's there
Tempest dragging me
Down to where
He'll watch me drown
Soon with a knock on your door
Father George
To your eyes
We are leaving
Soon, the gasoline girls
Fully infused
But soon will be leaving
By St. Paul's in fast pursuit
An ancient truth
Mirrored by Andromeda
Who timed her nurse maids
By St. Paul's
I spy a bridegroom
Who cries
"She has left me -
Swearing she's 'trapped
Behind a mask
And must be her own man' "
She's hit the road
To form her own
Goodbye girls
Gasoline girls
Electric band
