Funeral
(专辑: Behind Every Great Man - 2014)
I
didn't mean to, but the
evil thing grew Until a
tree bloomed and it bore fruit (The babies are in the
bathwater) They had a
bad father, and now I've made for him a
memory Remember me? The
one that bore your seed? Well now they sleep I
lined 'em up one by one, daughter and son from old to young Joshua, Noah, Matthew, and even Abby, only one Crying, I
baptized them I'm sorry, my child, close your eyes for a
while, mommy loves you, goodbye They were the
sweetest, remember how they needed us? Like Jesus Pleading, crying "Mommy, breastfeed us" I'm sorry, my angels, but the
world is not a
safe place for babies They won't blame me, my whole life's been wasted The
crime was committed against me first when I
gave birth I'm not a
nurturer, so I
sent them innocent back to the
earth Now I'm standing here reminiscing, sharpening these knives in the
kitchen I
think he'll be coming home soon, I
wonder if he'll miss them You weren't aware of the
female hysteria? It's scarier than miscarriages and the
plans you weren't aware of In prenatal, premeditated hate I
lied in wait And now with my fatal rage this genealogy's been erased An empty cradle remains, they'll say I
was a
monster Heartless for committing the
darkest arts of the
postpartum The
Mother Modern Worldly Cast to Hell But what will become of the
children? Well, I
guess only time will tell
