Lyrics
It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
We can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable
Oh well, the devil makes us sin
But we like it when we're spinning in his grip

Love is like a sin, my love
For the ones that feel it the most
Look at her with her eyes like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you again

[Instrumental]

Fuck, this is beautiful. I love the focus on the details, like the shoes and the belt. The cutting between India with the sharpened pencil and her finger on the trigger, and that clip of her tapping the egg on the table and just asjf;aljf everything. PERFECT.

Thank you! I loove the edge the movie gives India, and how so much of this symbolism just keeps building until it all explodes at the end. Like how the weight of the shoes and belt isn't totally clear until the end. <3
