Lyrics for My Birth
Then I strangled your neck 'Cause I love you too much Then I kissed your red mouth 'Cause I love you to death Now, mother, I need you I need your claws in my neck Every breath that I breathe in Feeds the life that I lack Now, right here, I was born In the place where you kneeled In the burning white sand In the blood that you spilled Far, far in the distance I hear the howl of the beast I feel his breath on my face I feel the edge of his teeth And I'll swallow your sorrow And I'll inhale your fear And I'll steal your tomorrows And I'll inject your tears So please, never forgive me Please, spit on my name But hold on to my memory And keep me to blame Please, need me to blame Yeah, need me to blame Need me to blame
