Lyrics for You Are Pregnant, You Are Dead

Never had I seen a woman falling down To the grass court Gingko across her face, yellowed by A child and a boyfriend Calling so hard to its father, "bury me in the sawdust!" Deepen the dread, gotten rid of by this self immolation AGAIN! The dust that hides the sweetness of the pyre Feel you turn into tears and ashes inside my lungs
