Newborn Lyrics
I'll be the corpse in your bathtub
Useless
I'll be as deaf as a post
If you hold me like a newborn
Whisper what you feel
My badly strung declaration
To You
You'll spend the end of your days
Gently smiling like a newborn
Love not by degrees
Press your lips
To my eyes
Taste my tears
On your tongue
Pull the blinds
Play our song
Nothings changed
Nothing could be wrong
Scream in the night
Kick and skrike
Like a newborn
Holding me shaking
Awake in the dark
All of these promises
Kept and unbroken
Tracing the scars
Tracing the scars
Even and cold
As we both become older
Your arms bound about me
The hush in your voice
The warmth of your fingers
Entwined around mine
In the eve of our lives
Never a choice
