I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le deluge, after me comes the flood

Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le deluge, after me, flood

Февраль. Достать чернил и плакать.
Писать о феврале навзрыд.
Пока грохочущая слякоть
Весною чёрною горит.

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, It's not my choice

I must go on stan-stan-ding-ding
You can't, can't break that, that
Which isn't, isn't yours, yours
I'm not, not my own, own
It's not, not my choice, choice

YESSSSSS. I love the song choice - I mean, her music is fantastic in whatever context, but in this particular case I love how you've mapped out the changing tempo of Shaw's actions to the song. She improvises and works with hundreds of variables and she's extraordinarily adaptable, but she has technique and operates in systems and patterns AND THEN ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE and she basically redirects those patterns in the most destructive way imaginable. (YAY.)

I can't wait to see her as a regular this fall. They better not screw it up. *fingers crossed*

Thank you. I thought the pace of the song matched rather well to what I had in my head as the pace of the episode. Obviously the editing isn't chronological, but it felt like it matched pace.

I cannot wait for the new season!
