Inspired by the two-part ST:TNG episode "Chain of Command" as a metaphor for the American political climate during the Year That Shall Not Be Named.

lyrics

there are four lights
no wool thick enough to blind
you can hurt me and i will bleed in kind, but
there are four lights

the room is closing in (by design)
i count, i count again (in my mind)
and when my eyes deceive (agonized)
i'll echo what i've seen

there are four lights
no wool thick enough to blind
you can hurt me and i will bleed in kind, but
there are four lights

my hands are overhead (bound and tied)
been questioned and misled (polarized)
your words beneath my skin (flush with lies)
but still you cannot win

there are four lights
no wool thick enough to blind
you can hurt me and i will bleed in kind, but
there are four lights
there are four lights
there are four lights

Mentally Thrilled
by Marja Hansen

Marja's music is the sound of a distant train horn softly bellowing into the still night, if the train were captained by Imogen Heap and warning Sigur Rós to get off the tracks before everyone dies. Ellie Maybe
