about

Virginia Woolfe reminded women of the Literary Guild that they can only write if they resisted domestic femininity. Be not the Angel in the House. Be the creative and fulfilled woman you were meant to be.

lyrics

Her voice in the room, subtle and low
a whisper in a song
I see reflections wherever I go
in the window, then she’s gone
I see a shadow of wings on the chair
where I sit and dream my dreams
She looks over my shoulder
she’s stroking my hair
She rocks my soul to sleep

I will kill the angel in the house
I will still her voice
it makes me doubt
I smother her lies
I will barricade this home
Destroy her disguise
I’m better on my own
When by my own hand she…

There’s a clock on the shelf
that’s pointing the hand
to all that I should do
The essence, the purpose
are slipping like sand
the trivial wins through
The perfume, the looking glass
waiting for me
the myth of beauty speaks
The rule of the angel and her tyranny
will tie me up in sheets

My liberation and my self-respect
took an act I had to do
The joy of the breaking of her perfect neck
I struck and feathers flew
I am the slut and my curtains are drawn
I live in perfect peace
I sit and I sing and I never shall mourn
the angel now deceased
