Ripping and tearing From the womb I'm born Screaming with terror at the light Clutching the flesh of mother's breast For warmth Sweetness becomes a place to hide Into the classroom Feeling eyes on me Why do I feel shame? I've done nothing wrong Something unnamed Some kind of cruelty Keeps me from feeling I belong Betcha couldn't tell I'm dyin' baby Breathing in Breathing out Breathing in Something had to break Something had to bend Please start again Hittin' the stage at 21 I'm done Sending spitball in the mic A ladybug crawling up the cable line Dont' know if I'll make it but I might Betcha couldn't tell I'm dying baby Breathing in Breathing out Breathing in Something had to break Something had to bend Please start again Nothing happens for a reason Some things will never be ok But it isn't? Things get? in this dystopian ballet But I can feel something inside me Cracking open from the pain Heart? burnin' givin' comfort A friend givin' me a place to stay Betcha couldn't tell I'm dying baby Breathing in Breathing out Breathing in Something had to break Something had to bend Please start again
