lyrics

another death inside my phone
another sigil scrawling
another pair of new eyes watching in awe as i play guitar kind of badly

born inside an underwater monster
who breathed through her eyes
i aged 55 in just one day
and swam into a deep orange sky

i was chosen by the angel of motherhood
she placed her claws on me
sucked away my drive and vitality
my artistic light
my need to fight
turned it into what became this
beautiful creature in my arms
and all i can think about now
is how terribly i will disappoint them

you sent me a picture of you naked
sprawled across yr bed again
it looked as if i was laying naked next to you
kissing your soft pretty head again

buried in our long dark hair
there's a light within yr moans
next month we never knew each other
and you find another to call home

i was chosen by the angel of motherhood
she placed her claws on me
sucked away my drive and vitality
my artistic light
my need to fight
turned it into what became this
beautiful creature in my arms
and all i can think about now
is how hellish the world will be when they come of age

another breath into my sage leaves
lost in estrodiol smoke
another desperate message
another wish that id just choke

i was chosen by the angel of motherhood
she placed her claws on me
sucked away my drive and vitality
my artistic light
my need to fight
turned it into what became this
beautiful creature in my arms
and all i can think about now
is how badly i will accidentally hurt them

is how many times ill just break down and cry with them
