Clinical Devotion

Verse 1

Silver

Tweezers click

Plucking out the ghosts

My skin is a map of the gaps

Smooth

Perfect

I record every name in the black book

I count the minutes

I count the coins

Three years old in the attic dust

Chorus

I am the science and the sin

Tracing the circles where I have been

The ledger is full

The ledger is tight

I keep the records

I keep the light

Everything is measured

Everything is known

Post-Chorus

Measured

Known

Measured

Known

Verse 2

No pants

Never

Only the silk that slides away

A microskirt is a brick wall

Check the belt

Check the lace

Slashed

They think they see me

They see the costume

They see the girl who cannot say no

I am a medical marvel

A viral crown

I carry the strain that never dies

Mutated

Gold

Chorus

I am the science and the sin

Tracing the circles where I have been

The ledger is full

The ledger is tight

I keep the records

I keep the light

Everything is measured

Everything is known

Bridge

Hotel rooms are the new attics

Same shadows

Same air

I signed the oath in blood

I signed the oath in sweat

I signed the oath in silence

The metrics don't lie

Numbers are my only friends

Data keeps me safe

Data keeps me numb

Chorus

I am the science and the sin

Tracing the circles where I have been

The ledger is full

The ledger is tight

I keep the records

I keep the light

Everything is measured

Everything is known
