Lyrics
The bookmark that juts from your Bible
Is patterned with smiling bears
With their saccharine, scared
Drawn-on faces
They whimper unanswered prayers
Pop stickers cover your Bible
Like a greying and gathering mould
Leaving ghostly gum imprints behind them
As you pick at their flakes and grow old
Quam Singulari, Jezu Słodki
Quam Singulari, Jezu Słodki
Quam Singulari, Jezu Słodki
Quam Singulari, Quam Singulari
Eyes burnt by transubstantiation
I'm blind in my subjugation
To a wedding dress
Under the veil
Child bride of Christ
You've broken the back of your Bible
Its spine of inoperable strings
Hangs slack in a library laminate
Whilst you think on involuntary things
You are never without your first Bible
For your whole adult life it sits tight
Maimed and unread in your pocket
And silently spoiling each night
Quam Singulari, Jezu Słodki
Hands burnt by my temptation
I'm weak in my supplication
To the devil's breast
Under the veil, Child bride of Christ
Quam Singulari, Under the veil
Quam Singulari, Child bride
Quam Singulari, Of man
