Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm not Pygmalion, hooked by failure Ruled as a juvenile, aged as an infantile Subject to the ladder [Verse 2] Ruined by affection, excepted by exception Predicted on a graph, cornered by ritual Diminished by impression, cried out in the lesson Subject to the ladder, subject to the ladder [Chorus] My thoughts are coming through Emptiness follows too A cyclone full of feeling The silence of the room [Verse 3] Defended by defendants, corrected by the pain Inspected by a sadness, exhausted by a game Subject to the ladder, subject to the ladder [Chorus] My thoughts are coming through Emptiness follows too A cyclone full of feeling The silence of the room [Verse 4] A picture turning over, jewel in the water Where echo saw reflection, not what it taught her Invaded by the quarrel and I denied the lathe Let me chop down the laurel, a goal I won't escape [Verse 5] I'm bullied by deception but when the whistle came Esteem had broke infection, my torment fraught with shame Subject to the ladder, subject to the ladder [Chorus] My thoughts are coming through Emptiness follows too A cyclone full of feeling The silence of the room [Outro] Subject to the ladder
