Placenta

(album: Matriphagy - 2020)

I'm trying to accommodate my cell
Feature a wee creature who looks just like me
He doesn't like me much...
Says I'm too fucked up to be discrete
Says I'm obsolete now
Could be the storm of the century
Said to me, "You got some potential
Admit it, we should end her"
Mother's surprised I made a dent this far...
Got the leash around my neck
Surprised it went this long
-Bitch

No one should read this
No one should read this
No one should ever know how tight it tugs

It's cutting deeper through the muscle
-Towards the other side
'Cause she can't stand to be alone
There's no one left to take the pressure
Got me all by myself
'Cause she's my placenta

Aye, listen...
How do I plant this shit quick?
She's like a tripwire
So I can't step swift
Wish I could sit this out
Because I know I'm gonna regret this
How far do I get
Before you whiff up my scent, bitch?

No one should read this
No one should read this
No one should ever know how tight it tugs

It's cutting deeper through the muscle
-Towards the other side
'Cause she can't stand to be alone
There's no one left to take the pressure
Got me all by myself
'Cause she's my placenta
She's my placenta

I don't believe in you anymore
Belly-up the lies that I tell myself
I don't believe in you anymore
Ma', I'ma come help you cut the cord
Cut the cord
Cut the fucking cord
Cut the fucking cord

I've become bitter
I'm not prepared for this
Why can't she push me out?
Reason's truly left her
I'm not prepared for this
Why can't she push me out?

No one should read this
No one should read this
No one should ever know how tight it tugs
-Fuck

It's cutting deeper through the muscle
-Towards the other side
'Cause she can't stand to be alone
There's no one left to take the pressure
Got me all by myself
'Cause she's my placenta
