Birth
There's a feeling inside me Under layers of dirt Jekyll and Hyding from me In a bloodstained shirt Buried 6 feet in my gut Scratching at my skin to break out There's a creature inside me All sticky and black Squirms like an octopus With the teeth of a rat All it wants to do is be heard But what if I don't wanna give birth? There's a creature inside me Wanna squish down the drain Synthetic hair clumps And polyurethane All it wants to do is have worth But what if I don't wanna give birth? You're too late! I guess you're having a baby! It's in me but not from me It when rules me so tread carefully SongtexteIt's in me but not from me It's sleeping So don't make it angry! There's a feeling inside me All rotten and green Feels like a pregnancy That doesn't wanna be seen All those years of scar tissue Am I the scar am I the wound? There's a bullet inside me But it didn't explode I'm getting tired of waiting For another episode All I wanna do is go bang If only I could find an exit wound There's a feeling inside me Under layers of skin Pushing like like an embryo Made of guilt and sin Negotiating when to be born What will it want in return? You're too late! I guess you're having a baby Oh my love oh my love I am so afraid Every day I am terrified to wake up and open my eyes And I know it's a phantom fear And the bad guy's not really here Every day I've been building walls to protect a fragile part of me I've been hiding it all my life Keeping it safe from things out there But it's been draining me and all the world can see There's a sadness behind my eyes There's a sadness behind my eyes There's a sadness behind my eyes There's a sadness behind my eyes It's in me but not from me It rules me so tread carefully It's in me but not from me It's sleeping so don't make it angry I guess you're having a baby! There's a feeling inside me It didn't get there alone PTSD or a loose chromosome I don't care which came first Something's about to burst It's been here so long now It began as a laugh If I'm not careful be my epitaph I don't wanna live this way Maybe when it sleeps I can escape There's a feeling inside me under layers of hurt Can't tell if it's friend or foe or pain inverted But I don't wanna have to give birth What if I don't wanna give birth? What if I don't wanna give birth? What if I don't wanna give birth? What if I don't wanna give life to this? What if I don't wanna confront? What if I don't wanna examine this? Something deep inside Something I have tired to hide so long Even from myself Something inside that scares Something inside but not from me at all Something inside since I was three years old Something inside that feels so big and tall Something inside so harmless right up close Something inside I dreamed up long ago Maybe this something it has a name Maybe this something it has a name Maybe this something is only shame Maybe this something is only shame Maybe this something is only shame What if I let go? What if I let go? What if I let go? Let's try being in love Being in love Let's try being in love Being in love Flew away from it all Turned around and the scene had ended Flew away from it all Won't be left out in the cold again Let's try being in love Flew away from it all Being in love Being in love Being in love Flesruoy evoL Flesruoy evoL Aus Songtexte Mania
